In January of this year, the San Diego Padres signed first baseman Wil Myers to a 6 year contract extension for $83 million with an option of $20 million for 2023. The most lucrative contract in the history of the organization officially designated Myers as the face of the franchise for many years to come.
Although Myers has experienced some struggles so far this season, the organization hopes that consistent playing time and continued work with his coaches will bring out the perennial All Star that they feel they signed.
As fans, we all need to hope this happens.
