Dan Szymborski Joins the East Village Times Padres Podcast

FanGraphs legend Dan Szymborski stops by to break down the 2026 San Diego Padres through the lens of ZiPS projections. We dive into what the numbers say about Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, the Padres rotation, and whether San Diego is truly built to contend in the NL West.

Plus, Dan walks us through how ZiPS works, what projection systems get right (and wrong), and why Padres fans should both trust—and question—the numbers.

Hosted by James Clark and Nick Lee, this podcast delivers passionate Padres breakdowns, advanced analytics, roster construction talk, and honest conversations about where the Padres are headed in 2026 and beyond.
