San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller spoke with the media on Zoom after he announced the firing of manager Jayce Tingler. Preller will be undergoing his third managerial search and it’s clear he’s going to have to steer clear of unexperienced managers.
Here are some of the notable things Preller said during his presser this afternoon:
AJ Preller let rest of coaching staff know "They're free to pursue other opportunities." Some could be back.

It’s unexpected for most of the coaching staff to stay with the major league team but Wayne Kirby might be the most probable coach to stay, as it seems like all of the players and fans love him.
