Dennis Lin on Padres ownership and big rotation questions

The new Padres owners were seen in a suite in Mexico City during the series versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. When can we expect to see them at Petco Park?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell are joined by The Athletic's Dennis Lin from the press box at Petco Park to discuss the vibe in Mexico City, what we know about Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones, and how close they are to adding more partners to their ownership group.

Could Drew Brees, who was recently in the box seats at Petco Park, be part of that mix? Dennis details how soon the sale could be complete.

Is Matt Waldron making his final start on Wednesday versus the Cubs? Dennis discusses the options the Padres face when Griffin Canning and Lucas Giolito join the rotation. The trio then discuss who their "Padres employee of the month" of April is, with Ty France and Luis Campusano garnering votes.

Next up: Marty's clubhouse interview with Michael King, who discusses how he views the first month of the season and the special bond he has with Luis Campusano.

Darren and Marty then discuss if it's time to drop Fernando Tatis further down in the order, as well as the interminable discussion on who the best leadoff hitter is when Ramon Laureano is unavailable.
