The best part of this is that he's a homegrown product and buys into the franchise 1st mentality at every corner. HES A KEEPER and needs to stay a Padre until he's at least Mannys age
Great work, Martha! So glad you are doing what you love. Congratulations to all of the Padres heading to the All Star Game. Let’s finish the first half with a winning streak.
if you REALLY think about it, Merrill is that big leftie bat that the Padres always wanted (young, controllable, affordable, and playslike a veteran). Im not one of those fans that thought we had a remote shot at signing Soto to something long term..I didnt even fantasize about it, especially when we sorta knew what Ohtani was going to get in FA. So, Merrill is that big leftie bat that we have, essentially, on the cheap for the time being. I can remember thinking, when Adrian G left "what in the Hell are they going to do now, regarding a left handed hitter who can hit for average and hit it out?"...well, he's on his way to the ASG.
Love Merrill. His attitude and play is exactly what this team needs. Hopefully he is a Padre for a longtime.

Dear AJ,
Please, for the love of fuck, stop pillaging our farm system. We need more Jacky M's and less old heads.
Love the humility and focus on team. Jackson is a gem.
Seems like it is contagious. Love the team first attitude.
When you watched him play shortstop in spring training 2023, you saw raw amazing talent. I`m so happy for him and his family. CONGRATS Jackson!!
Props rook! Stay with us big dawg!
My favorite Padre since Ken Caminiti. What a baller.
Well deserved. What a great addition. Look forward to many years watching him as a Padre
Way to go young man!!!!
I love this kid!!!
Congratulations Merrill! You deserve it 💪🙏

I’m not gonna watch the video yet but I bet Merrill is gonna say something about caring about the loss over making the All Star 😂
