The Dodgers continued their spending spree this winter, pushing their payroll to approximately $400 million. Their signings included Kyle Tucker, the best hitter on the market, to a four-year, $240 million contract. Meanwhile, the Padres signed low-cost players just this past week when they brought in pitchers German Marquez and Griffin Canning to go along with outfielder Nick Castellanos, whose $20 million salary is being paid for by the Philadelphia Phillies.
What they bring night-in and night-out, the passion that they show for the Dodgers - now, this is my 11th season and even on the road, the number of Dodger fans that are there and just the love that they have for this team, our job is to pour ourselves back into it and try to give them a team that can compete for championships, and that they can be proud of.
