Padres general manager and President of baseball operations A.J. Preller discussed how much fan and clubhouse feedback weighed into his decision to fire Jayce Tingler, reports of a fractured clubhouse, how much the team was affected by the trade deadline, his relationship with Eric Hosmer, if he's a micro manager, why he doesn't view their process as a failure and why the last 5-6 years have been about building high expectations for the organization.
