Dick Monfort sees 'holes' in Padres roster despite spending spree; iddsmakers see 90+ victories, World Series contention
Peter Seidler’s heat wave is causing a rival team’s owner — and likely several other owners — to sweat.
For the likes of Monfort, whose franchise occupies a mid-tier media market, Seidler’s Padres are inspiring uncomfortable questions from fans and media. “I look at the Padres and they have a really talented team, but they have some holes, too,” said Monfort. “They’ve got three, maybe four starting pitchers, and then they’re sort of like us. They have Musgrove, Snell and Darvish, so I don’t know. They have spent a lot of money and they will have to spend a lot more if they want to keep Juan Soto. But it does put a lot of pressure on you. Yes, it does.
The Padres have financial edges largely unrelated to market size. In America’s eighth-largest city, they’re not sharing the market with an NFL, NBA or NHL franchise.
