It's an interesting question as to whether the Padres would burn fans with a fire sale. The most fun that Padres fans had in years was during the offseason when GM A.J. Preller was dealing away all of our talent for big name players that would later turn out to slump hard in the first half of the season. We ate that sh_t up. We couldn't get enough of it. We'd do it again in a second. Right?
This season is done. Most casual fans checked out long ago. Those still watching games are cynical and depressed. They're not doing us any favors by keeping this team together for the rest of the season for our sake.
