The San Diego Padres have secured a long-term deal with rising star Jackson Merrill, valuing him at $135 million over nine years. This move comes after a significant transaction in 2022 when the Padres were involved in high-profile trade discussions, notably about Shohei Ohtani. With a promising 7-0 start to their current season, the team appears unlikely to trade key players like Dylan Cease. Additionally, in a related note, Marucci Sports anticipates a rising trend in bat technology, with players gravitating towards their new torpedo bat.
Great job by the Padres to lock up emerging superstar Jackson Merrill to a $135 million, nine-year deal.
Back in 2022 - just before the Padres acquired Juan Soto... the Padres were the most aggressive pursuer of Shohei Ohtani.
Considering the Padres' 7-0 start, cross Dylan Cease off the trade list, however. Tough to see the Padres selling.
Marucci Sports co-founder and CEO Kurt Ainsworth said on 'The Show,'... he expects players on all teams to try the torpedo bat.
