That Bogy contract will have some GM pulling out his hair in 5 years, tops. And that GM won't be named Preller.

That said, it's highly unlikely the Padres keep Hader and Soto when their contracts expire. And I've been reading that Manny will opt out and seek a fatter deal, so this is it for SD: 2 years to win it all. Wish I was a Padres fan because outside of Philly, no teams are pressing this aggressively for 2023. Lots of teams in that 2nd tier of aggression: Yanks, Dodgers, Mets, etc, but you only have to look at the Yanks and Dodgers to see how empty winning the division or WC is after you've done it a few years in a row, only to get bounced in the playoffs.

It gets worse with these expanded playoffs because the 162 regular game season means less and less.
