Crazy fact I learned researching for this feature on Manny Machado: He’s had one IL stint in the last 11 seasons. That was in 2023 due to a fracture in his hand. It lasted 17 days and he hasn’t been on the shelf since.

The 2025 Padres are the first team in MLB history to send three relievers to the All-Star Game -- Robert Suarez, Jason Adam and Adrian Morejon. (Twenty-eight previous teams had sent two.)

Asked #Padres OF Jackson Merrill if going through this slump could help him in some ways as a player, since he'll likely have a long career to navigate. Some perspective from him:

Oh man, there could be some serious drops coming in the MLB draft. Bonus numbers being thrown around last week could have scared some teams off.

The Padres drafted 6-foot-8 lefty Kruz Schoolcraft out of high school in Oregon at No. 25 overall. It's the ninth straight Draft in which they've used their first rounder on a high-school player.

Padres draft a high-upside, hard-throwing prep lefty. AJ Preller certainly has a type. Schoolcraft might have the highest ceiling of the pitchers in this year’s draft.

Kruz Schoolcraft was reported to have very high bonus demands thanks to a big NIL deal with Tennessee. Padres have a small bonus pool this year so they'll likely look to save money on a few early picks.

I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to work for Inside The Hall this year, covering men’s and women’s basketball and, for the first time in the website’s history, football. Thanks to Alex Bozich for this opportunity of a lifetime. I’m excited to get to work!
