AJ Preller

Greetings to all of our viewers and listeners at Padres.com as well as 97.3 The Fan and those of you watching on MLB Network.

We are here to officially announce the signing of someone very familiar to all of us here and certainly the faithful.

Everyone here at Petco Park is thrilled.

They return a pitcher, Michael King, to be announced here today.

Joining Michael on the stage this afternoon is Padres President of Baseball Operations and General Manager,

AJ Preller will begin today's program with remarks from AJ, followed by a statement from Michael, and then we'll open it up to your questions.

So, AJ, take it away.

Thank you.

Might have been an oversight, but I think you forgot broadcasters.

On that note, we'll open it up to the floor for questions.

We have microphones on both sides of the room with Devin and with Jorge as well.

Please raise your hand, wait for the microphone, and then we'll call on you.

And we'll start with AJ Casaville from MLB.com.

Dennis Lynn.

Jesse Agler.

Back to A.J.

Casabelle.

Any other questions today?

Yes, Bob Scanlon.

Mike, obviously a lot of things go into making these decisions.
