The Padres have committed almost $500 million to a dozen players over the past 10 months, and many of them have not performed at an acceptable level yet
But enough time has passed to know some things.
So for whatever might come, the reality 47 games into the most anticipated season in Padres history is that the bulk of the players who got the big bucks that inflated the payroll to unimaginable heights are not doing their jobs any better than a collection that included Ian Kinsler, Franmil Reyes, Hunter Renfroe and the likes of Chris Paddack. In fact, the Padres were 23-24 this far into the 2019 season.
Whatever the reasons — and in hindsight, perhaps a group that has had more than a 50 percent turnover since last August was going to need time to jell — this is a results-oriented business.and the lack of bench depth, the solution can be fairly simple. Yu Darvish and Musgrove are making $50 million between them in 2023. Darvish, who missed virtually all of spring training while participating in the World Baseball Classic, has three quality starts among his eight total. He also allowed four or more runs in three starts after doing so five times in 30 starts last season. Musgrove, who also missed virtually all of the spring training and then the first three weeks of the season due to a fractured toe, has a 5.83 ERA through five starts.
