San Diego Padres Manager Craig Stammen finalized his coaching staff over recent weeks and seemed to lean on past relationships to do so. Stammen brought in names he is familiar with from his time as a player in MLB, and while his personal experience is beneficial, it is limited to pitching. Stammen’s recent hires add more experience and knowledge of different positions on the field to his staff. With a diverse group of coaches, the thought is Padres players will find one or two they can connect with to make 2026 a successful season for Stammen and San Diego.
