Craig and John are looking back at the year that was for the 2018 San Diego Padres. Did this season accomplish anything? Who was the MVP? Who was the LVP? What did we learn and what might it mean heading into the offseason?

Craig and John sit down in the newly-revamped auxiliary summer studio (now an autumn studio?) and wonder how Wil Myers, Francisco Mejia, and Austin Hedges factor into the future of the franchise.
