Poll: What do the Padres need to focus on in the offseason?

Team will finish under .500 for the 9th consecutive season
The news of Andy Green being fired is spreading very quickly. That said, the team is obviously looking at 2020 with urgency.
Despite stellar rookie seasons by Chris Paddack and Fernando Tatis Jr. (prior to his injury) as well as heavy spending in the offseason, the team is on pace to win less than 75 games once again.
In the first half of the season, things were going pretty well. Unfortunately, the bullpen repeatedly let the team down. Even though they were still in the hunt, no reinforcements came. In fact, most fans were stunned when no moves were made. Stunned or disappointed, who knows. Bottom line is the team was never meant to “contend” this year. Ownership has been saying 2020 since day 1.
Of course, that poses a question. What should the Friars’ number 1 priority be in the offseason? Candidly, there are plenty of holes to fill. The bullpen is suspect, while it feels like they’re 1 Collapse

3 HRS AGO - I am thrilled to announce that I will be writing for the Gaslamp Ball. Hello, my name is Ben Hall. I am from Baltimore, Maryland. Just yesterday, I started writing for the Gaslamp Ball. I am very grateful that Aaron Denick gave me the opportunity to write for such a prominent website.
At the end of my senior year of high school, I decided that sports journalism was what I wanted to do with my life. So I started my own website where I would message big name athletes and do interviews with these athletes, then write a story about them. The website is www.bhjournalist.com.
I would also reach out to organizations and teams trying to get to an event or practice that I could cover. I was only able to cover one baseball game because no players and only one team were able to get back to me. But baseball has always my favorite sport. I currently attend Garrett College in McHenry, Maryland and pitch for their baseball team.
Covering baseball has always been a huge goal of mine.
Last week, I Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
274-366 during his tenure As Gaslampball predicted a few months ago, Andy Green has officially been fired. Rod Barajas will serve as the interim manager.
“I want to thank Andy for his tireless work and dedication to the Padres over the last four seasons,” Preller said. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, but one we felt was necessary at this time to take our organization to the next level and expedite the process of bringing a championship to San Diego. Our search for a new manager will begin immediately.”
“Andy’s class, dignity and leadership through a difficult developmental period for our team should be applauded,” Executive Chairman Ron Fowler and General Partner Peter Seidler said in a joint statement. “On behalf of the entire Padres organization, we wish Andy and the Green family the best.”
