As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the San Diego Padres find themselves in a familiar position: the underdog. After a surprising run last year where they clinched 93 wins and pushed the Dodgers to the brink for the NL West title, can they replicate that success despite losing some key players?

A.J. Preller has a reputation for making bold moves, and with the unpredictability of his strategies, it’s hard to count the Padres out. But here’s the question: do you believe they have what it takes to not only compete but potentially win the division this year?

Let’s talk about the implications of their offseason decisions. With the addition of Yuli Gurriel and the ongoing discussions about Luis Campusano’s future, how do you see these moves impacting the team’s dynamics? Are they enough to elevate the Padres above the competition, or are they merely band-aids on a larger issue?

And what about the Dodgers? They’ve been the favorites for so long, but can the Padres disrupt their dominance again?

I want to hear your thoughts! What are your bold predictions for the Padres this season? Will they surprise us again, or is it time to face the reality of a rebuilding phase? Share your insights, experiences, and any hot takes you might have!
