Free Agent Money

The Padres are on the verge of signing a long-term television deal with Fox that will pay them around $25 million a season. That’s the price of an elite free agent. They should be pulling in about $10 to $15 million more per year than under their current deal.

Of course, this makes me wonder if they had sealed this deal last season if they would have kept Adrian Gonzalez.

    What are the odds that deal translates into only $5 million more of payroll?
