The San Diego Paders are spending money wilder than anyone can possibly imagine, sending shock waves throughout the sport, BNightengale writes.
The Padres have become the National League's version of the old George Steinbrenner Yankees, with a franchise-record payroll exceeding $235 million and counting, and they still owe Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer $12 million for three more seasons.
It’s hard to believe this is the same franchise that had the sixth-lowest payroll in baseball just five years ago at about $96 million, and had not been in the top half of team payrolls since 2000. The Padres also drew 36,931 fans a game this past year, fifth-highest in baseball, capping their season-ticket sales for the 2023 season.
