Source: LHP Drew Pomeranz has exercised the opt-out of his minor league deal with the Dodgers. He's now a free agent. Had been with Triple-A OKC, where his fastball was touching 94 mph. Struck out 7 in 5 IP.
Adam Mazur dealing yet again today. 5 IP 3 H 4 K 1 BB 49 of 73 pitches for strikes He has allowed one run through 16 innings so far this year.
Ethan Salas and Dillon Head looked to get untracked and the @TinCaps bullpen shined on a rough day for the Padres system. We've got all the key details in today's Daily: madfriars.com/2024/04/18/san…
A day game in El Paso is always a recipe for lots of extra-base hits. Chihuahuas are down 7-2 in the top of the fifth. Their only runs came on a two-out, two-run homer by Graham Pauley. ABQ has 3 doubles and a pair of home runs.
This is a great way to catch up on all the top prospects in the National League—and her one on the AL is equally as good—by our former Scout colleague.

Austin Krob delivers a strong start for @missionsmilb, Lake Bachar makes his case in @epchihuahuas, Romeo Sanabria and the @Storm_Baseball go off, and Ethan Salas doubles in a rough one for the @TinCaps. That and much more in the Daily: madfriars.com/2024/04/17/san…
As we prepare for the second full week of the minor league season, we take our first look at the top performers and key prospects at each level of the Padres system. The top outing of the week belongs to one of the top prospects in the organization. madfriars.com/2024/04/16/san…
We wrote about him in Spring Training, a 6-foot-5 undrafted free agent who chose to go pro instead of the college route.

Newest San Diego Padre Donovan Solano lineout to left vs Jesus Tillero.
The @epchihuahuas struggle on the road, but @missionsmilb pulls out another late victory, and the @TinCaps rally for the win at home. Meanwhile, @Storm_Baseball gets rained out for the second night in a row. madfriars.com/2024/04/15/san…
Ryan Bergert turned in the strongest outing on a day when the Padres minor league system also saw Dylan Lesko and Henry Baez get good results despite inconsistent command. We've got that and plenty more from a good - but wet - day in the Daily: madfriars.com/2024/04/14/san…
Tyler Robertson singles for his third hit of the day to cap a three run seventh (last) inning comeback for the TinCaps in the first game. They'll be back for the back half of the doubleheader with Henry Baez on the mound in about 40 minutes.
It's been a slog for Lesko through three as he's landed just 35 of 66 pitches for strikes, but he's allowed just one hit, a solo homer. 4 K and 4 BB along the way.
A nice brunch and baseball option for Padres fans in San Diego this Saturday morning. Dylan Lesko is on the mound for the opener, Henry Baez in game two.
Robby Snelling looked sharp for @missionsmilb and a pair of talented outfielders looked to get on track after slow starts. That and more in today's Daily look at the Padres minor league system: madfriars.com/2024/04/13/san…

@joshiesdad I like Pinales lots and see him slotting into an interesting role if he keeps developing this year. Geraldo is a bit older and he wasn’t great last year but he should accelerate quickly if he keeps performing.
One guy in the Padres system who doesn’t get enough love is RHP Francis Pena, has some of the best stuff in all of the system. Fastball with significant sink at 97-99, can get whiffs anywhere in zone but needs to locate up in zone more. Tight slider at 91-92 that plays well…
@madfriars @JB_Rad619 I think maybe they just needed an extra arm just in case for yesterday and today’s game and he’ll be sent down fairly soon
And I here I am yet again tweeting about minor league baseball when I should be asleep.
Summer office hours
10 games into the season, @TinCaps catchers lead @MiLB’s High-A level in caught stealing % (37%). Individually, Ethan Salas is tied for the Midwest League lead, as he’s thrown out 4 runners attempting to steal through 6 games behind the plate so far. #PadresOnDeck
@thestevenwoods @HannahNancarrow Prospect Watch @madfriars
I think the most annoying thing for me right now is people explaining the baseball draft to me or explaining how the Guardians draft. Love/hate my analysis. Agree/disagree with me but I don't think anyone outside of the Guardians have spent more time on their drafts
What an outing from Michael King. He won’t get a win (and could still actually take a loss) which is a reminder of how meaningless pitcher W-L stat is.
Graham Pauley homers to right center field. Bryce Johnson scores! Chihuahuas trial 4-2 in the bottom of the third.
