Padres lock in A.J. Preller with new multi-year deal amid offseason uncertainty

The San Diego Padres announced a multiyear extension for GM A.J. Preller through 2028, ending months of uncertainty amid an offseason that included manager Mike Shildt’s resignation, a rookie manager in Craig Stammen, and looming sale talks. Preller, praised for building competitive rosters and back-to-back 90-win seasons despite budget constraints and a depleted farm system, negotiated with team chairman John Seidler for an extended contract (the exact length wasn’t disclosed). Manny Machado publicly supported keeping Preller, and the Padres’ ownership situation could influence future decisions even as the club remains broadly positioned for continued fan engagement.
