With a week left in the 2019 season, the San Diego Padres have fired manager Andy Green. Despite the addition of free agent Manny Machado and rookie sensation Fernando Tatis, Jr., the Padres are headed for their 9th straight losing season. The past four of those seasons have been under Green's stewardship including two last place finishes. Green's managerial record was 244-366. After posting a .500 mark (45-45) at the All-Star Break, the Friars have gone 24-40 since. In September, they are 6-13 and have lost 8 of their last 9 games.
Bench coach Rod Barajas will manage the team the rest of the season. He is a candidate to manage the Padres in 2020. However, should the Chicago Cubs dispense with the services of Joe Maddon they are going to take a run at him.
