Padres President & CEO Mike Dee made his weekly call in to the Darren Smith Show on The Mighty 1090 this afternoon to talk about the state of the Padres, saying that he’s “Extremely disappointed with the team’s current standing.”

He continued saying “This is unexpected, to be 10 games under 500 and to be now at the bottom of the division is unacceptable and I’m profoundly disappointed about how things are going. Gotta get it right. We’re gonna get it right. But it is not where we thought we would be for sure.”

On when things would be made right Dee said, “We’re dedicated to building a team that this community can be proud of and as we sit here today, we’re not doing that right now. That’s on us.”

Dee emphasized that the Padres are dedicated to putting a winning product on the field saying, “If changes are appropriate, changes will be made” and that ownership is determined to get this right.

Moving forward, Dee said to “Stay tuned, if it doesn’t turn around, we’ll have to make some changes.”

He continued with a message for fans saying, “The fan base deserves more. We’re listening to you, we’re getting the emails and the letters and we’re with you. This thing has to be fixed and it will.”

The Padres lost all three games in Philadelphia to start the current road trip and travel to New York today to open up a three-game set with the Mets at Citi Field tomorrow.

UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal tweeted an article this morning with comments from Dee’s interview yesterday and additional quotes from Padres Executive Chairman, Ron Fowler.
