I propose changing the national flags of players to reflect their nationality and NOT where they were born. For example Craig Stansberry was born in Saudi Arabia, actually greq up in Texas. Although he was born in Saudi Arabia, Stansberry only lived there for about a month. His father spent three years there working for a building materials company. He does not have Saudi Arabian citizenship, he has U.S. citizenship but putting the flag of Saudi Arabi makes it look like he is Saudi Arabian. Also consider that Stansberry spent a total of 3 months in Saudi Arabia. It makes sense to change this.Seantpainter 21:14, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
The current roster cannot be edited. However, some changes need to be made. Who has access to it?

Is it notable that the name "Padres" means parents? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 04:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
The team has two nicknames, "The Pad's," and the "The Friars." In the 1960's they were also known as "The Chaplains." Padre was also a 1940's/1950's military slang term for Chaplains (regardless if the chaplain was Catholic or not).98.176.116.217 (talk) 20:14, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
These images have now been coverted. They are now png, no longer gif Soxrock 20:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I would suggest the following changes to the Notable Moments & facts section. 1. Delet the April 10 1998 game reference. I don’t see the point as the game didn’t mean much. If you want to reference an important game in Padres history, why not the regular season extra-inning win over the Dodgers to clinch the NL West in 1996? 2. You might look into when Henderson achieved his 3000th hit and broke the runs record. I believe they weren’t far from Gwynn’s last game. 3. I think the famous fans list is pointless. Also, George Will is a Cubs fan. Finally, why no mention of Trevor Hoffman being MLBs all-time saves leader? Otherwise, great article…keep it up.
Their nickname is the Pad's, not the Friars. 67.188.172.165 21:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
It's both the "Pad's" and the "Friars." Supposedly in the old PCL days of the 40's and 50's,they were nicknamed the "Chaplains." No reference for that though.68.116.166.71 (talk) 01:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Isn't a Cubs fan? I see no evidence associating him with the Padres. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.100.29.7 (talk) 16:20, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Really, all the "rivals" should be removed except for the Dodgers. At the very least remove the Cardinals and Mariners. I'll do this myself unless somebody has a legitimate reason not to. 209.150.92.91 (talk) 22:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Given the fact that baseball is becoming an increasingly more international sport (i.e., more non-U.S. leagues in existence, more non-U.S. players in the MLB), the roster formatting on Wikipedia should probably be updated to reflect that. If you look at the formatting for other international sports (such as soccer), the player nationalities are indicated using flag icons. I think this would be a beneficial update to each of the major league rosters in the MLB, it would not be too difficult to implement and it would not clutter the information on the page. However, before such change a change is implemented, I thought it would be healthy to achieve at least some form of consensus on the talk page for each team. yuristache (talk) 01:10, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
The jersey image needs to be changed relating to the change to the new MARPAT uniforms that will be used in the 2011 season. I have added the new uniform content with references in the appropriate section, but am not that great with photoshop or other similar programs. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Should the event of Moorad stepping down as CEO be included in the article somewhere, or does it fall under WP:NOTNEWS? Or should it be included in the Jeff Moorad article?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:37, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't know where to best include this, but there needs to be mention of the donation of thousands of uniforms to little league players in San Diego County. Sources:
Of course one can argue WP:NOTNEWS, but it's something I think is worthy of a brief mention somewhere.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Can we change the blue and white primary to yellow and brown?-DANO- (talk) 05:17, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
It may be the computer I'm on, but San Diego's road uniforms aren't grey as they appear to be depicted here. It's a tan color. Hopefully someone would be able to make the change. G. Capo (talk) 19:37, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
The San Diego Padres use verification technology from the ecommerce site GovX.com to offer ticket discounts to current and former US military service members. GovX is mentioned in this article about Petco Park using GovX verification for Military Appreciation Sunday after they returned to full capacity on June 17 2021 after limited capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic: https://www.mlb.com/news/petco-park-returns-to-full-capacity-on-june-17. The Padres have used GovX verification technology to offer military discounts for years. GovX is also mentioned here: https://www.mlb.com/padres/community/military as well as here: https://www.10news.com/lifestyle/exploring-san-diego/padres-offer-military-members-families-discounted-tickets-to-home-games
I am disclosing my COI: I currently work for GovX.

Hello. I just started to explore Baseball history. I want to ask about San Diego's winning seasons for all time. There is 15 in page, but maybe it must be 5: 1984, 1996, 1998, 2005, 2006. I can't find another 10 winning seasons for NL West Division. Thanks for your patience.
