Padres Disappearing in Latest MLB Power Rankings

Things just really haven't gone their way this season..

It feels like almost a weekly occurrence now, but things seem to be getting worse for the San Diego Padres. This 2023 season has gone off the rails, and it has been an extremely frustrating year for the organization.

In what was supposed to be a year where they moved toward finally contending for a World Series, the team has fallen flat. They have found themselves playing very inconsistent baseball and are still searching for any way to get back into contention.

As we get close to the month of September, things have started to come to a head. Players are acting out during games, the manager is almost at a loss for words and the team just can’t seem to get out of their old habits.

The offense remains wildly inconsistent, and the pitching staff is starting to show some cracks from their early season success.

In the latest edition of the MLB.com power rankings, the Padres have fallen even further down the list. They went from No. 18 in the previous edition to No. 21 in this week's.

After a poor week, San Diego has found themselves even deeper back in the standings. The team was swept by the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, and they are heavily searching for answers.

With a little over a month left in the season, the Padres need to get things together quickly. They don’t have much time left to put everything together if they want to reach the postseason. But there are still games left to play.

This year has been a major disappointment so far, and if they can’t turn this ship around, it will go down as one of the biggest letdowns in MLB history. Nobody wants to be on that side of history, so the clock is ticking on their season.
