1 week agoPadres Notes: Sale, Gores, Payroll
The sale of the Padres is progressing, with four bidding groups and a potential price exceeding $3 billion.
Upgraded economy seats on this route typically cost between $500 and $1,500 more than standard seats, but for this flight, the minimum bid was $210. This seemed like a great deal, so I went slightly higher at $221. Though I didn't expect my low bid to be accepted, I received an email the day before my flight stating that it had been successful.
Unfortunately, despite all of my geographic advantages, I only vaguely understand what any of that means. After years of being steeped in this culture, I can really only identify if something is red or white, and I still put ice cubes in my chardonnay. The society of passion around wine may be lost on my poor philistine soul, but I envy the love and care that others put into its history and agriculture.
