"Me and Croney spent a lot of time together back in camp.. we were together every morning. When I walked in, I didn't tell him I was coming.. I just wanted to see the look on his face." - Ty France on #Padres teammates he's excited to reconnect with

#Padres Manager Craig Stammen & Ty France were teammates.. I asked what stood out to him about Ty in their time together. "..we traded him away that season, we had unfinished business. Now we're in 2 different parts of our lives.. but he's a 'Padre.' I said welcome back home."

Welcome to San Diego, Nick Castellanos. "I remember playing against Manny at 9 years old.

I'm here to help him, however he needs me." #Padres

I asked Pro Football Hall of Fame Nominee Drew Brees, who's currently the QB Coach at Santa Fe Christian, if he'd receive texts from his kids he coaches first or the adults in his life if his name is called? "We'll see how it plays out, but that would be a tremendous honor.."
