The San Diego Padres finished the 2024 season with a 93-69 record, placing second in the NL West. The team's second half was particularly strong, driven by standout performances from pitchers Dylan Cease and Michael King, alongside contributions from veterans Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish.
Offensively, Jackson Merrill emerged as a star, while Jurickson Profar had an unexpected All-Star season. Despite a strong showing overall, the Padres faced challenges, including an embarrassing postseason exit and injuries to key players like Xander Bogaerts.
