Star-studded roster, colorful personalities make club practically irresistable to networks and their broadcasts
Sorry to bum out you who are Padres fans, but the truth about ESPN and other national media is they love, love,A fan base that moans about East Coast bias whenever the Pads appear on a national telecast will have to find new targets to lampoon.Media folks welcome delight interesting stories, and for intrigue, none of MLB’s other 29 clubs can match the ‘23 Pads’ combination of star power and snooze-proof narrative.
The Padres are fresh, they’re fun and, visuals being important, too, they’re the only MLB team that wears brown and gold. Successfully, I’ll note.As mic’d-up Manny Machado said a few times Sunday night, in a chat with ESPN’s crew as he played third base in a road rout of the Braves, the Padres have swagger. And they also smell like swagger, Manny copping to Eduardo Perez that he was wearing Louis Vuitton cologne during the game. .
Making the Padres a telegenic team, almost everyone knows someone on the club — whether that someone is the team’s soon-to-return, former face of MLB, Fernando Tatis Jr. or Machado, Japanese star Yu Darvish, former Red Sox star Xander Bogaerts, South Korean standout Ha-Seong Kim or former D.C. star Juan Soto.
Former ace pitcher David Cone raved over Seidler’s gusto. It’s refreshing, said the former union man, to see a smaller market team field so many high-salaries stars.
