“We entered 2023 with expectations that we would build on last year’s NLCS appearance and contend for a World Series Championship.  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.  Our current leadership team continues to have my full support, and I have asked them to perform a thorough assessment of our organization, beginning today.  We will make the changes necessary to play championship-caliber baseball for our extraordinary fans in 2024.”
