The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a stellar offseason, signing top-tier talent to bolster their championship-winning roster. In contrast, the San Diego Padres are grappling with significant challenges, including an ownership lawsuit and failure to secure key players. CEO Erik Geupner praised the supportive fans of the Padres but implied frustration with the lack of substantive moves to improve. Geupner's remarks followed tensions from the Padres' loss to the Dodgers in the NLDS, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of the two franchises this offseason.
'One of the things that I think is so cool about the way you support this team and the environment that you create which has become as [Mike] Shildt said one of the most difficult environment for other teams to come into and play, is that you do it in a classy way.'
'I think we saw some things some other places, I won't give you more detail on that, but I will just tell you that that's not who we are, and that's not who we were, and that's not who we're gonna be.'
Frustration is a term that comes to mind when discussing how the Padres front office might feel this offseason, especially after key losses and off-field issues.
An ownership lawsuit hanging over the ball club, losing the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes, and the inability to maintain core free agents are just a few issues for fans this offseason.
