How Padres Could Benefit from MLB’s Economic Proposal
While the players and owners continue to fight over how to divide up money in a shortened season, the San Diego Padres could benefit.
There is no denying that the San Diego Padres have some bad contracts on their hands. They even tried their hardest to move one of those contracts this past offseason.
The Padres were set to pay Eric Hosmer, Wil Myers, and Manny Machado a combined $75.5 million in 2020.
And quite frankly, while I think all three could have had a bounce-back years in 2020, they’ve all underperformed with their new contracts.
