The Fallacy of Moneyball and the San Diego Padres Attempt to Be a Big Market Team w/ Booney

Locked On Padres - Daily Podcast On The San Diego Padres

On this week's Fun Friday episode, we're pretending not to see the Roki Sasaki news and doing a crossover instead! Javier is joined by Booney, the new host of Locked On A's, to discuss the problematic narrative of Moneyball and how it affects discussions on the league to this day. They discuss the history of teams spending to win, the Padres proving any team could invest if they want to, the importance of having superstars, rumors about Manny Machado and Juan Soto not getting along, and more! Go Padres.
