The Padres signed manager Andy Green through the 2021 season:

“We like him a lot,” Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler said Saturday. “We think he’s the right guy with us for a young team. We think he’s a teacher – not just baseball but teaching these guys about being a solid human being and a good citizen. … We think he’s a good baseball mind. We like his tenacity and his toughness, as well as the way he supports these guys the way they need to be supported.”

It’s always a risk extending a manager when a team is playing poorly. The front office now needs to deliver players who are capable of bringing a few winning seasons to the Padres. If Green is the man, then it is time to bring in the players.
