The San Diego Padres finally strike: Sign starter Nick Pivetta to a 4-year, $55 million backloaded contract. He’ll earn $4 million in 2025, $19 million in 2026, $14 million in 2027 and $18 million in 2028 per

Would say the Padres choked last year if they played anyone else besides the Dodgers. Of course, the same can’t be said about the team that I dare not mention here. If Ohtani pitches are the Dodgers going to go with a 7 man rotation? But seriously, FanDuel so confident in Dodgers they’re only paying +195 if they win 110 games, +1160 for that other team.

Go Padres 🙂 

 

I will root for the local hometown team. This season I will finally have a vested interest in baseball. My hubby as a side job in retirement became an employee of the Padres for game days customer service. 6 hours each game day. He had to agree to participate in 75% or more home Padres games. And join some sort of Union too.

 

He is doing it for a bit of side money but mostly fun.

 

I really know nothing about current players. I DO  have a really cool Tony Gywnn story 🙂 

 

thanks for tagging me Mike.

The Padres are an ownership mess because of a death.  Your O’s have a shiny new owner but they’re starting to look like the Tim Murray Sabres.  They’ve actively sabotaged Kjerstad, added no pitching, signed scrubs galore……WTF are they doing?   Are they going to ruin Mayo next by playing him twice a week?  They had a legitimate chance for long term success.  It’s still there but they are blowing it.  The Red Sox are coming fast.

I am concerned the Braves didnt make any/enough moves. Strider coming back from injury, Acuna coming back from injury, losing Fried to FA, hoping Sale completes another full season, losing Morton.

 

And other teams like the lolMets adding talent, and the Phillies still being tough. Big up hill battle.

Not sure why since I hated the evil empire($$$) of the Yankees, but I like the success of the Dodgers.  I like Roberts, Ohtani, Freeman, Betts, etc…

 

PS I grew up a Cardinal fan, lost interest in baseball for a couple of decades, but just started following baseball again a few years ago.

Roberts?  He the whiniest of the whiny.  The other three guys are easy to like but the team is just buying everything.  They have a billion home grown pitchers that they got injured so they went on a shopping spree.
