San Diego Padres shake up their coaching staff, bringing veteran coach Randy Knorr and former MLB outfielder Steven Souza Jr. on board to spark a much-needed offensive revival. Can this new duo help unlock stars like Xander Bogaerts and Fernando Tatis Jr., and finally solve the team’s struggles with runners in scoring position?

Javier Reyes breaks down how Souza’s aggressive hitting philosophy might be the key to reigniting the Padres’ lineup, while Knorr adds valuable veteran experience to support rookie manager Craig Stammen. Other topics touched on in the mailbag include underperforming stars, lingering contract issues, Padres-Dodgers fan banter, free agency targets, and bold predictions for Tatis Jr.’s MVP chances. Go Padres.
