A Leaky Ship with No Rudder Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor meet on the day after it became public that Bob Melvin was granted permission by AJ Preller and the Padres to interview for the managerial opening with the SF Giants. This all but confirms what many suspected, that the news conference after this season with AJ Preller was essentially meaningless. The guys give a raw, hour-long reaction to all the excellent reporting from The Athletic, and talk about what this means for the future of the org.
