Padres Plan To Reduce Payroll To Around $200M
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2023 12:08 pm
Despite an Opening Day payroll of just under $249 million, the San Diego Padres are only in the faintest of Wild Card contention entering the final week of the season.
The club is planning a different strategy for the 2024 season, according to a report.
This includes \"player commitments of around $200 million,\" as the report states that the payroll cut is \"in part because they are out of compliance with MLB regulations regarding their debt service ratio.\"
