, 24, fell well short of his previous power production in his return from suspension and multiple surgeries.

Will the Padres trade this offseason in search of a more balanced roster? That route is at least under consideration after owner Peter Seidler’s expensive gamble on the 2023 season backfired in spectacular fashion.Who’s on the hot seat?
Given more resources than most of his peers — and far more than any of his predecessors — president of baseball operations and general manager A.J. Preller has taken San Diego to the playoffs just twice in nine full seasons, and one of those appearances came in a 60-game season. His only winning record in a full season came in 2022.
Preller has also churned through four managers and more than two dozen major-league coaches. His current manager, Bob Melvin, appears to be on the hot seat himself, but virtually no one outside the organization believes Preller should be allowed to hire another manager.The bigger question: Would Seidler, who is recovering from an undisclosed medical procedure, allow Preller to pick another manager?
