The San Diego Padres are embarking on their 56th season in Major League Baseball and their 20th year at Petco Park, starting on Thursday. Just like any new season, there are changes in store.
In November, the Padres appointed Mike Shildt as their new manager and made a trade for starting pitcher Dylan Cease shortly before the season’s commencement. Some familiar features include Fernando Tatis Jr. returning to his position in right field, the TV commentary duo of Don Orsillo and Mark Grant, radio coverage by Jesse Agler and Tony Gwynn Jr., and the availability of games for streaming on Padres.TV for the second consecutive year.
