Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort questioned the San Diego Padres spending earlier this offseason and now MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has joined the party. He spoke to the media today and gave his thoughts on Peter Seidler’s spending.

“The trick for smaller markets has always been sustainability. Hats off to Peter Seidler.
