@PorterZoey6481@Hern94680151Tom@Padres Oh, this team is going to feel the pinch. Its merchandise sales are so-so, and this team relies on game day revenue as their t.v. contract sucks due to it being a small media market.
@thxlvda@Hern94680151Tom@Padres Yes and no. Tickets get sold on the secondary market and the Padres, even when they sucked hard have always drawn well during the summer months. I would be shocked if they do not have at least 50 percent sellouts the rest of the way.
The Padres missed their window. 2024 was the year and this lineup is no longer championship caliber. Dead money with Darvish and Musgrove, and bad and long contracts with Machado, Bogaerts, and Cronenworth. Tatis' contract is too much for a punch and Judy hitter. Sigh.
@Acyn Make these assholes name all the people on the left that reject the use of mother and father. They just go into their crack Dems, get high, and make shit up
@JamesSurowiecki@infantrydort Easy. He had to beat out the less qualified MAGA candidates. If you want to get ahead in media or politics, be a Republican. The talent pool is shallow.
@EndWokeness@elonmusk Elon musk is apparently too stupid to realize most liberal Californians vote by mail while most MAGA vote in person skewing the early results. Statistics is hard.
@HarbJohal@Padres The Padres window closed in 2024 when the pads let the Dodgers escape. The pads are going to have 2 awful years until Darvish and Musgrove come off the books, and then another 3 iffs yrs where Cronenworrh, Bogaerts, and Machado will suck but maybe they get lucky on the farm.
