The San Diego Padres were eliminated in the wild card round of the 2025 MLB playoffs, ending their season in disappointing fashion for the team that had high expectations in the preseason.

Starting pitcher Yu Davish started the all-important Game 3, but he was pulled in the second inning after struggling.

Now, he is non-commital about the upcoming season.

After the game, shortstop Xander Bogaerts went off on the umpires about their strike zone. He gave them an earful as they headed off the field.

In other news, first baseman Pete Alonso is one of the top free agents in the 2025 class and could potentially join "Slam Diego" this winter.
