Looking back, there are probably a number of factors behind the Padre organization’s recent decision to fire manager Andy Green.
Over the years, there had been signs of mutiny within the ranks.
There were some questionable Green decisions regarding how the team represented itself to competitors—one such decision being his passivity in the face of the Cubs’ brutalization of catcher Austin Hedges back in 2017.
Above all, there were the losses. Many, many losses.
For those looking for another potential, between-the-lines motivation behind the Green ouster, his team’s base running failures might serve as a decent place to start.
