The San Diego Padres have officially set their coaching staff for the 2025 season, with familiar faces like Ruben Niebla and Victor Rodriguez returning under Mike Shildt's leadership. This brings up some intriguing questions about the direction of the team and the impact of these coaching decisions.
Given that the Padres' offense struggled towards the end of last season, do you think the return of Niebla and Rodriguez will be enough to revitalize the lineup? What specific changes or strategies do you hope to see implemented to improve their situational hitting?
On the pitching side, Niebla has a track record of helping pitchers achieve career years. With a mix of returning coaches and new assistants like Scott Stroud and Chris Apecechea, how do you see the pitching staff evolving? Are there any pitchers you believe could break out under this coaching regime?
Additionally, with the Winter Meetings approaching, the Padres are being viewed as a potential landing spot for Roki Sasaki. What are your thoughts on this? Would adding a talent like Sasaki be a game-changer for the Padres, or do you think they should focus on other areas of need first?
Let’s dive into these questions and more! What are your bold predictions for the Padres in 2025, and how do you feel about the current coaching staff's ability to lead the team to success?
