A.J. Preller seemed to push all the right buttons in 2024, and it got the Padres back to the postseason. Now can they make it back to back trips to the playoffs? Preller wrapped up their bounce back season and began to look ahead to 2025 in a lengthy chat with reporters. Will they extend Mike Shildt? What about Arraez, Cease, King and Merrill? Where do things stand with Ha-Seong Kim and what does he expect from Xander Bogaerts? And how much dough will he have to spend? Derek and Darnay discuss the big talking points.

We've all had time to digest a tough finish to a really, really good campaign. Derek and Darnay put a bow on 2024 - a season that saw the franchise take important strides, despite a disappointing ending. Things are looking good for 2025, but as always there are tough questions that need to be answered. Profar? Higgy? Kim? Scott? Niebla! The guys set the table for the offseason.
