Padres' New Skipper Sends Warning to Dodgers: We're Coming for You
The San Diego Padres are gearing up for another intense showdown against their arch-rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team's new manager, Craig Stammen, has made it clear that his squad is ready to take on the reigning champions and come out on top.
Stammen's sentiments were echoed when he said, "We're going to compete," during a recent appearance on "Foul Territory." While some might view this as just a standard manager's statement, given the Padres' lackluster offseason, it may be seen as a bold declaration by Stammen that his team is poised to challenge the Dodgers.
The Dodgers, who have won back-to-back championships and added All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to their roster, appear to be gaining ground on the Padres. Meanwhile, San Diego has made some modest moves, re-signing Michael King and adding Sung-Mun Song, but lost key players Dylan Cease, Robert Suarez, and Ryan O'Hearn.
Stammen's vow may seem like a stretch given the current state of the roster, but it's clear that he and his team are hungry for a rematch against their division rivals. The rivalry between the Padres and Dodgers is always intense, with every game being a battle for supremacy. Next season promises to be just as thrilling, with Stammen and his squad looking to take on the best of the best and come out victorious.
As one would expect from a manager who has spent years honing his craft, Stammen has instilled a sense of determination in his team. With Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and company leading the charge, the Padres are set to give it their all against the Dodgers once again. Will they be able to close the gap between them and their arch-nemesis? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – this rivalry is far from over.

Craig Stammen is straight fire as a manager he's got that fire in his belly and it's infectious 
I mean, losing some key players to other teams might be a setback but this squad has depth & talent - Fernando Tatis Jr. is gonna be UNSTOPPABLE 
Manny Machado is always the real deal too! And Sung-Mun Song is that hidden gem nobody knows about yet 
The rivalry between these two teams is so intense it's not just a game, it's a way of life 
Stammen's vibe as manager sounds super positive and motivating for his team - i love how he emphasizes competing against the Dodgers! 
that Edwin Diaz signing must give them a boost, but San Diego has some amazing young talent like Tatis Jr and Machado leading the charge... its gonna be so intense watching these two teams battle it out again 
what do you think will happen to Dylan Cease and Robert Suarez? did they leave for good or just taking a break? 
. The real question is, can the Padres overcome their own roster losses and make a deep run in the playoffs? It's gonna be an interesting season, with both teams giving it their all 
The Padres have a lot of work to do before they can even think about taking down the Dodgers 
. Still, it's all about the rivalry, and I love how fired up Fernando Tatis Jr. is 
️! It's gonna come down to who's hungry for that W 
those dodgers are on fire rn! 
. I'm loving the intensity this rivalry is gonna bring to the table next season - it's gonna be a wild ride! 
Let's see if Stammen can deliver on that promise of "we're going to compete" and give the Dodgers a run for their money 
. The rivalry between these two teams is always electric 
. I mean, it's not like they've won back-to-back championships or anything 
. That's a major boost! The rivalry between these two teams is always fire 
. Can't wait to see what happens next season 
. Stammen seems like he knows his stuff, so I'm rooting for the Padres to give it their all 
. The Padres have a tough road ahead if they want to challenge the reigning champions...
That's not exactly confidence-inspiring when you consider they lost some key players. Sources, please? 
What makes you think the Padres are even close to challenging the Dodgers? I'm all for a good rivalry, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado are still total game-changers, but we need more depth if we wanna take down those Dodgers 
Like, how are we gonna recover from that? Ugh, my head is spinning just thinking about it 
gotta respect that kinda confidence. Padres have some serious talent on their roster, Tatis and Machado are beast mode 
. This rivalry is always going to be intense, and the Dodgers are looking fierce with Diaz on their side 
they got some big names but it's all about execution right now
