The San Diego Padres defeated the New York Mets in Game 3 of the National League Wild Card series to advance to the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Under owner Steve Cohen, who finalized a deal to purchase the Mets in late 2020, the team became big spenders in free agency, bringing in Francisco Lindor, who signed a 10-year, $341 million deal in 2021, and Max Scherzer, who inked a three-year, $130 million deal prior to this season., having assembled a star-studded roster in recent years, have the league's fifth-highest payroll at over $236 million.
Facing lofty expectations during the 2021 season, the team finished a disappointing 79-83. They then locked up their young star and MVP candidate Fernando Tatis Jr. with a 14-year, $340 million extension. Tatis then suffered a broken wrist in the offseason and was suspended in August 2022 for 80 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
