The Padres beat the Mariners 5-2 on Friday at Peoria Stadium in both teams’ spring training opener. Batter’s box: Manny Machado hit the first pitch he saw halfway up the batter’s eye directly beyond the center field wall.

The San Diego Padres announced their broadcast schedule for 2025 Spring Training presented by Southwest Airlines, featuring 30 preseason games that will be available to fans via television, radio or webcast.

The Padres need an arm or two this season. They'll have plenty to look at in spring training. Let's break them down.

The San Diego Padres want to compete in 2025. Of course, making a run at the National League West title will be a challenge given the presence of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who feature a true super-team.

Outside three split-squad games, the Padres will broadcast their entire spring training exhibition schedule via television, radio or webcast, which includes 20 games on Padres.TV that will be available as part of a free preview. Those 20 games will also be broadcast by local cable providers.

This offseason, the Padres lost Jurickson Profar, Ha-Seong Kim, Kyle Higashioka, Donovan Solano and David Peralta to free agency. According to FanGraphs, those five players combined in 2024 for 9.7 wins above replacement — or more than one-third of the WAR that San Diego’s offense produced.

Manny Machado got straight to business during the San Diego Padres' spring training opener on Friday. Machado took the first pitch he saw deep over the center field wall for a two-run homer off Seattle Mariners left-handed pitcher Jhonathan Díaz.

The San Diego Padres are hungry heading into the 2025 season after a disappointing NLDS loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, and that quest gets underway Friday against the Seattle Mariners in the spring training opener.
