The San Diego Padres<\/a> (5-1) and Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> (4-2) had strong weeks to keep pace in the National League West, but the big news of the week was the Padres about to be sold for the staggering price of $3.9 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sale price shatters the previous record of $2.475 billion, which is what Steve Cohen paid for the New York Mets in 2020<\/a>. The timing of the sale expected to happen this year, before the collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1. The Padres selling for $3.9 billion is going to make it much harder for owners to posture about the health of the sport being imperiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see there\u2019s owners that want to win and want to put a great product on the field because they\u2019ve seen the benefits of it,\u201d said Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth<\/a>, who is also a member of the MLB Players Association\u2019s executive subcommittee. \u201cI think today is a perfect example of what the benefit is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay, one more note within the division, and it\u2019s also Padres-related: Closer Mason Miller<\/a> has yet to allow a run in his 11 1\/3 innings this season, and has struck out an absurd 27 of his 38 batters faced (71.1 percent) this season. Sheesh.<\/p>\n
