Spring Training is less than a month away. The last week brought more rumors, but once again little to no action. Will a trade to clear salary open the floodgates? Would it make sense to deal Nick Pivetta? Sounds like the Brewers want to move Freddy Peralta - should the Padres get involved? Apparently they checked in on Nolan Arenado. We heard from Craig Stammen - who is still leaning on Mike Shildt, and thinks highly of Luis Arraez. Where we might see Sung-Mun Song play, and could his versatility open up trade options? A couple beloved figures are back in the organization. And a column in Forbes sparked that frustrating conversation about the future of the franchise.

After an eventful few days in December things quieted down on the Padres front. The New Year is here and Spring Training is only about a month away - so what on earth is going on? Derek and Darnay discuss the state of the team and the possible avenue for rounding out the roster.

The Padres didn't make many moves during the Winter Meetings, but they did make tons of noise. Is A.J. Preller cooking up another blockbuster deal? What players would even be involved to make such a thing possible? Should Fernando Tatis Jr. be untouchable? Is Mason Miller on the block? And would that just be a way to get out of a bad contract? The Padres don't plan on moving a top reliever to the rotation, but might they move some to fill needs? The Mets had a rough week, could they look to San Diego for some star power? Suddenly there are some very interesting possibilities - the guys discuss on the 400th episode of On Friar!

We probably should've seen this day coming. Almost two years to the day of Peter Seidler's passing, the Seidler family announced that they have begun exploring their options for the franchise, including a potential sale. This has layers, from Peter's legacy, to Sheel's stake and the continuing legal unrest. What does it mean for the baseball product in the near and long term? A.J. Preller's contract limbo makes more sense. Could this benefit the club in the long run? In the meantime we bemoan how things have gone since Peter passed.

Craig Stammen put the Padres uniform on again Monday morning, this time as San Diego's manager. Darnay and Todd discuss what we heard, why A.J. Preller felt comfortable handing the clubhouse to the former reliever, and what big questions remain. Stammen admitted a learning curve is ahead. He says he'll keep the club on the path set by Mike Shildt. What role will Ruben Niebla have going forward? And is there any clarity on Preller's future?
