Padres EVT Podcast: In Focus – Episode 5: New Faces as Spring Training Kicks Off
The Padres EVT Podcast’s latest show, In Focus, is back with an all-new episode.
This week, hosts Diego Garcia and Willy Warren dive into the Padres’ new additions of Nick Castellanos, Griffin Canning, German Marquez, and Walker Buehler.
The guys dive into each player and what they can bring to the Padres’ 2026 campaign, as well as make their cases for who is most likely to win the Padres’ rotation race. Other topics discussed include the Padres’ seemingly endless supply of infield talent for the bench with the addition of Ty France, as well as opportunity being in the present for some players with the upcoming World Baseball Classic taking certain players away from Spring Training.
Join in as player analysis occurs, stories are shared, and laughs are had along the way!
