One of fiercest rivalries in MLB, the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres compete for supremacy in the NL West every season. It is LA that have enjoyed much more success of recent, having won their division for the last four years running, and back-to-back World Series.As popular baseball content page "DugoutReport" revealed via an Instagram post on Wednesday, it appears the Padres have managed to get one back over their arch-rivals. However, instead of being on the baseball field, the Padres' win came in a pickleball tournament organized at the GM meetings in Vegas."The Padres' front office won a pickleball tournament held by teams at the GM meetings in Vegas, per Jesse Rogers — and they beat the Dodgers to take home the title.

While the players rest, it is now time for teams' front offices to perform.For the San Diego Padres, the target this offseason appears to be bolstering the starting pitching rotation. Starters Dylan Cease and Michael King are both free agents, and Yu Darvish is set to miss the entirety of 2026 as he recovers from surgery.As a result, it is the need of the hour for the San Diego Padres to make sure they acquire a number of solid starters, to perfectly compliment their outstanding bullpen. So far, reports have linked the likes of Joe Ryan and Cody Ponce with a move to Petco Park.San Diego Padres GM A.J. Preller (L), LA Dodgers GM Andrew Friedman (R) (Images from - Getty)Pitching is also a concern for the LA Dodgers. In contrast to the Padres, however, their starting rotation is in a great spot at the moment, and it is the inconsistent bullpen that they will be looking to improve.Closer Tanner Scott did not do well in 2025, and this may prompt LA to move for three-time All-Star Edwin Diaz this winter.
