The San Diego Padres have never won it all.
Over the course of the team’s 53 years of existence, they’ve gotten close — in 1984 and 1998, they made it to the World Series but came up short both times.
However, 2023 might just be their year.
Bob Melvin’s squad is truly stacked — this is a team that lists stars Manny Machado, Fernado Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Xander Bogaerts and Nelson Cruz on its roster.
We haven’t even gotten to the nasty pitching staff yet either.
Their rotation consists of Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove and Blake Snell in the top three spots.
Let’s not forget closer Josh Hader.
And while San Diego has a roster made up of likely All-Stars, there are surprisingly cheap tickets still available to see the team live at PETCO Park this season.
In fact, some are going for as low as $10 before fees on Vivid Seats.
That’s cheaper than a Bud Light at the ballpark (they’re going for $13 this season).
Plus, some games will have nifty giveaways like Juan Soto bobbleheads, Trevor Hoffman jerseys and opening series hats.
We’re just getting started too. There are a lot of freebies at games this season.
So, if you want to root for the loaded Padres live this season, here’s everything you need to know.

Padres news

How to watch the Padres in 2023

You should be able to see most games on the local Bally Sports San Diego station.
Alternative options include ESPN, Fox, Fox Sports 1 and TBS for select games.
No matter what the case, always make sure to check your local listings.
For Padres fans outside the San Diego market, give MLB.tv a shot — you just might find Machado, Soto, Bogaerts and Co., there.
