Stairs replaces Alan Zinter, who was fired on Sept. 1. Stairs is the Padres' ninth hitting coach since Petco Park opened in 2004.
The move was announced Monday.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — There's no pretending anymore with the San Diego Padres.
They still shy away from using the word "rebuilding," but that's exactly what they're doing.

To put it another way, no one's expecting to plan a championship parade anytime soon.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mike Dee is out as president of the San Diego Padres, who were embroiled in a major controversy toward the end of another miserable season.

Seidler said Dee's contract wasn't set to expire until August 2018.
