Padres EVT Podcast: In Focus Ep. 1 – Offseason Primer, Prospects on the Rise, and Padres Free Agent Needs
Graphic by D. Garcia - EVT Sports
The Padres EVT Podcast is back with a new show: Padres EVT in Focus.
In this show’s debut episode, host Diego Garcia is joined by EVT Padres staff writer Willy Warren as the duo discuss the never-ending debates of player development and assessment at the minor league level, as well as several Padres prospects who could be in line for MLB callups in 2026. The Padres’ needs on the roster are also detailed, and the debate is had on what the Padres need more: a power threat for the lineup OR another starting pitcher.
Plenty of prospect talk is had, detailing prospects who could be making a name for themselves, and both Diego and Willy present prospects they believe are poised for a big 2026 season.
Check out the show and as always, feel free to leave us any feedback or comments!
Thank you!
