Padres to be sold?

[Kelverin]

"Ten years ago, Moores' ballclub played in the World Series. Today, the Padres look more like a Triple-A team. Some day fairly soon, they figure to be someone else's problem."

Article has no real facts to back it up, but there is speculation the San Diego Padres are at the beginning stages of getting a new ownership, one that hopefully will try to field a competitive team on the field.

It fascinates me how quickly they went from being arguably the best NL team a few years ago to nothing more than a farm team.

This time it's from the team site. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.

"San Diego Padres owner John Moores told MLB.com this weekend that he has hired Goldman Sachs to identify potential buyers for the ballclub.
Moores, who bought the team in 1995 for approximately $80 million, said the international banking firm has been hired as a financial advisor to study selling the team either in its entirety, in part or not at all."

It's never good news when your favorite team is being sold, yet I'm still extremely excited about this news.

Thank you Becky. Without you, this may never have happened. Then again, the divorce is pretty much what brought us from a playoff contender to an utter joke.
