It is a shocking news. Contrary to expectations that his chance to advance to the postseason this year is slim, he is continuing to win the opening seven consecutive games. He also reportedly signed a long-term contract with a "next-generation superstar" who won an All-Star and a Silver Slugger last year.
The San Diego Padres won 5-2 at home against the Cleveland Guardians of the 2025 Major League Baseball at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time).
Win, win, win, win, win, win, and win. Just like the Los Angeles Dodgers, which have won seven straight games, San Diego has won all seven games.
It is not surprising that the Dodgers has completed its "super-luxury corps." However, it can be said that the team itself is a storm. Of course, San Diego made it to the postseason with a wild card last year, but as its main players, including Kim Ha-sung, Tanner Scott, and Jurickson Profar, applied for free agency after the last season, the team's strength has become weakened. Major players that San Diego has newly introduced were right-hander Nick Pivetta and left-hander Kyle Hart from the KBO League. 스포츠토토
Nonetheless, the San Diego Padres are making a splash with their opening seven consecutive wins. San Diego took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Jackson Merrill hit a two-run homer to right-center and San Diego's 4-0 run to gain the upper hand.
As the news spread on the previous day (on the 2nd) that San Diego and Merrill have agreed on a long-term contract, people are paying keen attention to San Diego. The deal is worth 135 million U.S. dollars for nine years. The deal could increase to up to 204 million dollars for 10 years.
Merrill, who had been spotlighted as a top prospect in the San Diego Padres, debuted in the Major League last year and played in 156 games with a batting average of .292, on-base percentage of .326, slugging percentage of .500, OPS of .826 24 home runs, 90 RBIs and 16 stolen bases, which was truly remarkable as he ranked second in the National League Rookie of the Year vote. In addition, he received the honor of being the first All Star since his debut and the Silver Slugger Award. This year, he has already hit two home runs and is displaying an upgraded bat compared to the previous year.
How long will San Diego's gust of wind continue? It was widely expected that the Dodgers would win the title easily, but the San Diego Padres are rocking the board. This is why baseball is fun.
