The extension of Jackson Merrill of $ 135 million is the last victory of Padres

Excellent work by the padres to enclose the emerging superstar Jackson Merrill with an agreement of $ 135 million in nine years.

In 2022 – Just before the Padres acquired Juan Soto for CJ Abrams, Mackenzie Gore, James Wood and two other young players – the Padres were the most aggressive pursuer in Shohei Ohtani, and the name of Merrill came at least in a commercial discussion. Although we cannot be sure they would have exchanged Merrill if the angels actually dealt with Ohtani, it is difficult to see anyone playing the class at Lake Elsinore is considered untouchable in the talks of Ohtani.

Given the start 7-0 of the Padres, Cross Dylan nevertheless ceases the commercial list. Difficult to see the paadres sell.

The co-founder and CEO of Marucci Sports, Kurt Ainsworth, said on “The Show”, our post-baseball podcast, it expects the players of all the teams to try the battle of Torpille, and the word is half of their orders which are now torpedoats.
