Darren Smith and John Gennaro kick off today's podcast by talking about some technical difficulties and jokingly being called out by a "rival" Padres podcast before getting into San Diego FC, who announced earlier today that they were exercising the permanent option on Luca Bombino's loan from LAFC.
The guys play some audio from SDFC Sporting Director Tyler Heaps, who spoke openly and honestly about Luca Bombino's present and future with Darren Smith, which felt very different from the normal communications from a team to the media.
The podcast closes with some San Diego Padres talk, starting with Shohei Ohtani no longer tipping his cap to the Padres dugout and barreling right into all of the questions surrounding a sale of the Padres and what a prospective buyer might be getting.
