Any discussion of the market is a falsehood. Yes, the MASN deal sucks. The Padres are in the 23rd media market and were able to give out two 300 million dollar contracts, plus have Eric Hosmer on an albatross deal.
And they have four of their five starting pitchers becoming FAs this year or next and just traded their top starting pitching prospect. We'll see if they can afford to restock.
