GM A.J. Preller of the big-spending San Diego Padres must hire a new manager yet again, this time just a year removed from a stirring run to the NLCS that captivated a championship-starved fan base.
SAN DIEGO — Just a year removed from a stirring run to the NL Championship Series that captivated a championship-starved fan base, general manager A.J. Preller of the big-spending San Diego Padres has to hire a new manager yet again.
“You want to find talented people that are here for a long time,” Preller said Wednesday. “You look at any kind of partnership. It takes two. I'll constantly look back and say, 'How can we do this different and what does it look like if you want to hire a really talented person and hopefully they're here for a decade?'”
Then came Melvin, and there goes Melvin, who at the very least gave Preller his only two winning records in a full season. Preller said he was the most active with the big league team during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, when the Padres eliminated Shildt's Cardinals in a wild-card series before being swept in the NL Division Series by the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
