The San Diego Padres' shocking decision to explore a sale has left fans reeling just two years after Peter Seidler's passing. Could this betrayal of his generational vision derail the franchise's championship window, or might new ownership actually strengthen the team's future?

Javier Reyes and CBS 8's Jake Garegnani break down the immediate implications for free agency, Craig Stammen's manager hire, and A.J. Preller's front office operations. The discussion tackles fan fears about relocation—drawing painful parallels to the Chargers' departure—while examining why the Padres' strong attendance and playoff success make them an attractive asset. Key topics include defending Peter Seidler's spending legacy against critics, defending Fernando Tatis Jr., comparing this situation to other successful ownership transitions, and more! Go Padres.
