San Diego Padres Struggle: Over $170M Spent With Low Returns

Bobby, they got some issues going on in San Diego. We were just talking about the Padres. And, you know, they're just not hitting this year. And, you know, with all the things going on there, and, you know, the third basement's not hitting, you know, you've got so many guys that are not really hitting on that baseball team. A.J. Prowler, the general manager of that team, boy, has spent over $170 million, and they're just not getting that baseball team going. If you're the manager of a team like that that's underachieving, how do you and what do you do to get that team back on track again? Dan, again, how do you figure that out? I don't know what you do. You know, Machado's playing better now, and he's hitting, you know, at a good clip the last few weeks. And I don't know what happened to Tatis from going to a world-class to mediocre. And, you know, some of their young players have not developed the way they thought they would. So, you know, they're at a crossroads right now. It's the trade deadline. You know, they have Miller in the bullpen who's a prized possession. He's a difference maker. There are teams out there who think that, you know, if the Yankees stumble and fall, and if the Dodgers don't have their full staff, that it's a winnable situation. And with a closer like Miller, it can make the difference with some teams. So it's going to be interesting next couple of weeks.
