SAN DIEGO -- Manager Bob Melvin and general manager A.J. Preller appear to be safe in their jobs with the big-spending yet underwhelming San Diego Padres after owner Peter Seidler said in a statement Monday morning that the current leadership team"continues to have my full support."
"We entered 2023 with expectations that we would build on last year's NLCS appearance and contend for a World Series championship," Seidler said in the statement."We fell short of that goal. The Padres organization will learn from this season and emerge in 2024 with the pieces in place to compete for San Diego's first World Series title.
Preller has long been a favorite of Seidler, a third-generation member of the O'Malley family that used to own the Dodgers. Seidler was part of a group that purchased the Padres in 2012 and bought out Ron Fowler's majority stake in November 2020. Seidler supported Preller even after the GM was suspended for a month by MLB in September 2016 after its investigation revealed the Padres had withheld medical information from trade partners.
Melvin has one year left on the three-year deal he signed when he was hired away from the Oakland Athletics on Nov. 1, 2021. He had one year left on his deal with the A's but was allowed to interview with the Padres and leave without Oakland receiving compensation.who was fired by the San Francisco Giants on Friday
