Padres Hot Tub

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor convene on a Monday afternoon in which the Padres begin a three-game set in Los Angeles -- only it doesn't matter. The Padres were officially eliminated from NL West title contention on Sunday after a miserable series in Houston. The beat rolls on, but no word from either Peter Seidler or AJ Preller. How long can the silence continue? Plus, they discuss Xander's offensive/defensive paradox, a Ha-Seong Kim extension, and more.
