Padres' High Spending Aims for Playoff Streak
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
The Padres, despite a looming sale, have committed to maintaining a high payroll for the 2026 season, aiming to exceed the competitive balance tax threshold for the fifth time in six years. This financial commitment is notable, given San Diegos status as the smallest media market in the league. The teams average payroll has significantly increased since 2015, from ninety-six million dollars to two hundred twenty-two million dollars since 2021. The Padres aim to make the playoffs for three consecutive seasons and are actively seeking at least two veteran starting pitchers, with General Manager A.J. Preller exploring various trade possibilities at the winter meetings.
