The money was spent. It would wholly, categorically inaccurate to characterize us as cheapskates.

Alek Thomas almost counts lol? His father must have enjoyed those will call seats last night. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34465961/adidas-terminates-partnership-san-diego-padres-fernando-tatis-jr-ped-suspension

Are any of Yolbert, Moncada, Vera, Grandal, Robert, Cespedes and Abreu particularly seeming happy right now? They're all interconnected with Colas and external FA's in numerous ways.

Even the Rays just extended Glasnow two years into FA, and then there's the Wander Franco deal.

Isn't that from Wreck It Ralph?

NCAA football work opening weekend?

Ummm…except for the fact he has no future with this franchise unless the goal is relocation ala Oakland.

Gaston was the original choice of KW over Ozzie until He was convinced by Ozzie’s version of the Heyward Rain Delay inspirational speech.

Vaughn or Abreu maybe

Ted lasso. House of the dragon blackbird extraordinary attorney woo

Why they need a Beltran or Espada type. Back up plan would be Gabe Kapler protege. Or Bochy. Cito Gaston is dead, right?

Or the Kimbrel trade and letting Rodon go so easily at age 29. Could have had him for a heckuva lot less than he will end up getting this coming offseason.

aka the Josh Naylor Game seven ribbies in the last three innings...three and four run homers, plus an earlier RBI big chunk of his season total right there

Each is a calculated risk at different price points as well as stages in their respective careers. Isn't that the one area that was supposed to be Hahn's forte, risk mitigation and payroll sustainability?

Guess that's a positive for baseball when the worst franchise now still can ink the very best intl pitching prospect.

Mariners are the new Padres lol.

As long as he doesn't care at all about attendance next season. I guess most fans would indiffernt to Williams. It's TLR and Hahn that are far and away the most polarizing.

Coca Colas will save the Sox. Or is Colas Slaw?

Or Pollock and Leury...they will have puff pieces claiming Grandal has never been this healthy since his twenties and Kelly can even go...back to back, sometimes. Feel sorry for Cueto and Abreu. (Well not so much after watching his defense erode all season long.)

The Guardians did worse. They traded Sandy Leon to their rival the Twins and LHP Alex Young to the scuffling Giants. Didn't affect or faze their young players at all.
