My Updated Padres Top 32 Prospects as of August 24, 2026. Yes, most of the 2026 draft is missing, I will be updating the list after the season. Really wanted to rank Lascelles though. Questions/comments/etc are welcomed, always down to explain the reasoning.

Here is a list of the 8 MLBPA Executive Subcommittee members: • Marcus Semien (New York Mets) • Chris Bassitt (Baltimore Orioles) • Jake Cronenworth (San Diego Padres) • Paul Skenes (Pittsburgh Pirates) • Brent Suter (Los Angeles Angels) • Pete Fairbanks (Miami Marlins) • Cedric Mullins (Tampa Bay Rays) • Tarik Skubal (Detroit Tigers) These will be 8 of the 38 players who will vote on any proposed CBA, assuming they keep their committee positions of course What we know from Bassitt: “The salary cap doesn’t fix anything. If you look at every major sport that has a salary cap, we have the best parity. The salary cap is not the issue. Having suppressed salaries across the league so owners can make more money is not the answer.” • “Honestly, the salary cap stuff makes absolutely no sense… A salary cap means that we get a share of the revenue. Billionaires are very good at hiding revenue.” • He has also called the owners’ first formal proposal something that should be “thrown in the trash.” from Cronenworth “We’ve taken a pretty hard stance on that [a salary cap]. Not just this year, but forever. I think that shows the unity and the strength of the Players Association.” • He has emphasized that the free-market system is the most important thing players have and that other leagues’ salary caps remove that freedom from Skenes Called the owners’ initial proposal (built around a hard cap) “very, very bad.” • Reiterated the players’ long-standing opposition to a salary cap and said it would be a “complete disservice” to past players to give in. • When asked about missing games, he said there is a line the players won’t cross and they will miss games if necessary. from Fairbanks “It’s the lowest-hanging fruit for the casual fan to grab onto… But the desire to cap the cost of labor isn’t rooted in competitive balance. Every business in the history of businesses has wanted a static labor cost.” from Suter “There are fan bases that are disillusioned. I get the frustrations.” (While still operating within the union’s anti-cap position.) No public quotes are known that I can find from Semien, Skubal or Mullins

Alex McCoy scorches a two-run homer 116.3 mph off the bat 🔥 The @Padres' No. 26 prospect already has the hardest-hit jack of the Fall League this year with a 118.2 mph rocket.

Arson Ashby has officially secured the greatest postseason by a reliever in baseball history. He may not win any awards for it, but he deserves a HUGE amount of recognition for what he’s accomplished!

DeCriscio goes deep 💣 @Padres prospect Justin Decriscio launches his second home run of the fall to extend the Javelinas lead!

Ye liveth by thee Ian Seymour, ye dieth by thee Ian Seymour

Most consecutive scoreless innings in a single postseason by relievers: 2026 Aaron Ashby: 16.2 (active streak) 2016 Andrew Miller: 16.0 1984 Andy Hawkins: 15.1 1981 Goose Gossage: 14.1 1972 Tom Hall: 14.1 h/t @EliasSports

Aaron Ashby just set an MLB record with 16.2 scoreless innings to start a postseason. Andrew Miller was 2nd (2016 CLE) San Diego's Andy Hawkins is 3rd on that list (15.1 IP, 0 ER in 1984 PS) to open a postseason.

DeCriscio’s second home run in Grand style @padres prospect Justin DeCriscio launches his second home run of the game a grand slam for Peoria!

Left-hander pitcher Yeremy De Leon, a 17-year-old from Panama 🇵🇦, recently agreed to sign with the San Diego Padres for a $30,000 signing bonus. More on De Leon and three other recent signings in Beisbol FR.

The Padres need starting pitching for 2027 and beyond, and have a great chance to make themselves a destination for pitchers looking to find another gear. Carter Stewart Jr is looking for a bounce-back season. Bring him to San Diego, A.J. eastvillagetimes.com/npbs-ca…

NPB’s Carter Stewart Jr fits 2027 Padres’ rotation needs Story by @StatNerd_Base #Padres eastvillagetimes.com/npbs-ca…

If the Padres don't select him to the 40-man, he's 100% going in the Rule 5 (if there is a Rule 5 this offseason)

If you're ever curious what someone means when they say take an aggressive swing when you're in a hitter's count...just watch Blanton's HR swing on the 2-1 middle/middle fastball

Winyer spins three no-hit innings! The @Padres No. 15 prospect strikes out three along the way. This past MiLB season, Chourio struck out a career-high 122.

If Ty France signs elsewhere in FA, I would like to see San Diego consider Alec Bohm as a replacement. Bohm, 30, delivered above-average chase%, whiff%, K%, and a 95th-percentile squared-up% despite underperforming his xSLG and a career-low .269 BABIP.

Ethan Salas made his long-awaited MLB debut this season after returning to form as one of the game’s best prospects. He was the only non-DSL Padres prospect under 21 years old to own a K% under 15% on the year. Salas’ swing decisions and whiff avoidance is elite, especially for his age. His 16% K% at Double-A ranked him in the 90th percentile, while his 15.4% Whiff% put him in the 97th percentile. A remarkable bounce-back season.

Do my eyes deceive me??

Padres No. 9 prospect Alex McCoy clobbered two home runs in the Peoria Javelinas' 12-11 win over the Surprise Saguaros in the @MLBazFallLeague today. McCoy is slashing .256/.348/.641 for a .989 OPS in 39 AB's, while going 4-for-5 on the base paths. @EVT_News
