"Myers played in the big leagues from 2013 to 2023. The bulk of that playing career, from 2015 to 2022, was as a Padre. Over those eight seasons in San Diego, he got into 888 games, hitting 134 home runs and stealing 94 bases. His combined line of .254/.330/.451 translated to a 111 wRC+. FanGraphs credited him with 13.6 wins above replacement."
"The Padres gave him his first managerial gig in 2007. The Friars were mostly a low-payroll bottom feeder at that stage of their history. He held that gig for more than eight years, with the club posting a 649-713 record in that time. Despite the poor overall record, he won National League Manager of the year in 2010, a season in which the Padres went 90-72 but didn't make the playoffs. He was fired in June of 2015."
