The Roki Sasaki dream is dashed. The Dodgers added a top reliever and former Padre in Tanner Scott. And the Padres remain mostly quiet. Darren Smith joins Darnay to discuss the challenging path forward for A.J. Preller. Is it time to sell off parts and rebuild? Can they keep everyone in place for another run in 2025? The Dodgers' big offseason has been a source of frustration, but where should our ire really be directed? And how does the uncertainty in 2025 compare to how we were feeling about the Padres a year ago?

Will it go all the way to January 23? Plus, the Padres landed a catcher. Has the market for Jurickson Profar gotten any clearer? And will they go to arbitration with Michael King?

'Tis the season! Derek and Darnay share what's on their Padres Holiday Wish List. We all know what (or rather, who) is at the very top. Everyone wants Roki Sasaki this season. What about a new deal for Jurickson Profar? Some extra pop in the lineup? Another Preller masterclass featuring Dylan Cease? How about Fernando Tatis Jr. having an MVP season or Xander looking like Xander. The guys dream of a bountiful Holiday haul, and discuss rumblings around the team.
