Following a hectic trade deadline, AJ Preller woke up at 5:45 a.m. the next morning to play basketball.

Sleep deprived but Ball is Life

Lol, “woke up”. Ok.
Lulz… “Woke up”… my man didn’t sleep❄️

In Preller’s mind: “Now that the deadline is done–my next challenge: SKENES”
If AJ were actually doing coke, absolutely none of these trades would have worked out, lmao
I feel like this sub makes cocaine look like a good thing sometimes. Has anyone making these jokes actually been around people doing that drug? lmao
*La coca* is still coursing through his system 🏃🏻♂️
That lady is going to be very annoyed if she sees this photo of her backside. 😂
Pancakes and AJ playing basketball, not bad routine
Ballers ball.
What shoes are those low key
I love my GM

Well, championship or not, love him or hate him, you have to say this about Preller: he’s made the Padres that much more interesting. Prior to this, the Padres were a dead end franchise that was composed of Tony Gwynn, mostly transients and scores of losing seasons and hopelessness. He’s certainly helped them gain some traction and notoriety instead of being a forgotten franchise being stuck somewhere in the corner.
Woke up or cut his evening short ?
My man is so focused on trades, he missed out on the butt in the cut

I ran into AJ Preller at the Wu-Tang show a few weeks ago, super cool and friendly dude
If Im ever caught in the middle of a fight and I turn to see AJ swinging with me, I’d feel relieved knowing this lunatic is on my team 😂😂😂
This guy’s brain probably never shuts off. All coke jokes aside, he probably averages 2 hours of sleep a night. Just because his mind won’t stop running. He’s past his trade line moves and on to thinking about how to rebuild that farm. Bravo to AJ, seriously.
He used to frequent Glen Park in Cardiff, where our extended family would picnic during the summer holidays. I think he played basketball with some of our “boys” back then (maybe 10 years ago?).
the man leads a simple life. Trades, scouting and basketball.
