The Padres have not came off to the fast start that everyone was hoping for. The team made some huge acquisitions in the winter acquiring Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, James Shields, and Craig Kimbrel.
Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reported his thoughts on the trade via Twitter.
Toxic mix for Bud Black: new GM, massive spending, high expectations. Bad defense wasn’t his fault.

Dave Roberts will take over the manger duties for now until the Padres find a replacement. What do you think Padres fans? Was this the right decision? Who should they target as a replacement?
