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?
