Late last month we heard that Steve Cohen dropped out of the bidding once the
price climbed that high, so the O'Malleys have been expected to land the team
for the last few weeks now. Current owner John Moores acquired the franchise
back in 1994 for approximately $80MM.
The Padres have a number of high-priced players who could be trade bait at
the deadline, specifically Carlos Quentin and Huston Street. The new
ownership should provide some clarity as far as their financial situation
going forward, such as their ability to offer long-term contracts. Just
yesterday GM Josh Byrnes said he did not have the ability to offer contract
extensions at this time.
在上個月由於競標價格提高的關係， Steve Cohen 退出了競爭行列。
所以在這幾個禮拜， O' Malleys被預期是最有可能會得到買下教士的團隊。
現教士持有者 John Moore 在1994 年用約8000萬美金的代價拿回經營權。
教士有一拖拉的高價值球員可以在截止日前交易，尤其是昆丁和休士頓街。
新的經營團隊應該要盡早告知高層們該如何處理這番情況，
像是提供長約綁住人囉!! 或是該要交易掉他們等等
就在昨天，教士GM Josh Bymes說在這種狀況下他沒有權利去提供任何人長約。
SATURDAY: The sale is "not done yet," reports Bill Shaikin of The Los Angeles
Times (on Twitter). The O'Malley group is in exclusive negotiations to
purchase the team, however.
FRIDAY: The O'Malley group has been selected to purchase the Padres, reports
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). They will pay $800MM total,
including $200MM for a portion of the team's equity in FOX Sports San Diego.
周五:
O'Malley得到了購買教士隊的權利，他們總共會付 8億美元，其中兩億拿來支付購買
FoxSportsSD的部分股權。(<
