Josh Byrnes Interview - Talks Latos Trade, Anthony Rizzo's Future, and More PDF Print E-mail
2011 Season - 2011 Season

padres_logoJosh Byrnes joined Josh and Charod of “The Drive” on XTRA Sports 1360 to talk Padres.  If you are like me you were growing weary of all the softball questions Byrnes was getting on his previous interviews since becoming the general manager.

(Download/Listen to the interview here)

Topics included:

  • Stockpiling the minor leagues – “Looking to build a roster that has staying power”
  • Locking up young guys to long term contracts – “If you pick the right guy, it’s a pretty good financial decision”
  • Mat Latos’ attitude was not an issue – “I don’t think it’s a character issue”
  • If the pending TV deal is a factor in the budget.
  • How soon could Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland make an impact on the major league roster.
  • The difficulty in signing offensive free agents to play in Petco.
  • Donovan Tate’s struggles.
  • Do you have the right scouts in place?
A ton of info packed into 14 minutes, but clearly the best interview that Byrnes has had since becoming the general manager.
