The Padres expensive acquisition of Eric Hosmer forces Wil Myers to relocate to the outfield. Should it cause us to change our perception of Myers?
One of the two biggest signings of the offseason surprisingly belongs to the San Diego Padres after they brought Eric Hosmer to the West Coast, giving him $144 million over eight years.
The move is curious for a multitude of reasons. For one, the Padres are still in the midst of a rebuilding phase -- they have not had a winning record since 2010, notching 77 wins or less in each of the last seven years -- and they are not known for splashing the cash.
