The Blackout: Ok, boomskie Edition

Ancient history, buddy. Three times on the IL already this season for Tatis. Let me know when he plays close to an entire 162-game season. He’s stealing big money. https://t.co/vBftvSGzVU

If Tatis never plays another game in his career he will be guaranteed five times what the Padres paid Tony Gwynn for 20 Hall of Fame seasons. That’s the ratio. https://t.co/rwLniW9ZxD

The Padres never make money. For decades owners have had to make cash calls to get through each season. COVID has hit them hard just like every MLB team. I’d estimate they’ve lost close to $200 mil the last two seasons. https://t.co/nJkQFKtTTr

Lets see, Joan Kroc and Ballard Smith built the 1984 pennant winners. John Moores and Kevin Towers in 1998. No full season playoffs since 2006. They went four times under Moores/Towers. Why all the anger? https://t.co/NM800XKewi

The Padres had no stadium revenue in 2020 just like every other team. They earned TV, radio dollars prorated to a 60 game season. Same for what they paid in player payroll. This year they didn’t start to play for awhile at full capacity. But they’re paying players for 162 games. https://t.co/KwHCTG5eJG

The Padres bought out Tatis’ arbitration and early free agency years for 14 seasons on the hope he’d be a projected talent. He really hadn’t done anything yet except shown flashes around very serious injuries. Bravo to both for getting so much guaranteed money.

Why is this even a point of discussion? The Padres have never made money back to the days when C. Arnholt Smith almost sold it to Washington interests. The fact that franchise is now worth $1.76 bil is a product of the MLB marketplace, but worthless until they sell it. https://t.co/9V6dgPeDSz

The Braves control The Battery. The Padres don’t. Plus they have a $175 mil payroll. https://t.co/JuxzQLyphC
