“The minute you walked in the joint, I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender.”Peter Seidler is a comic book character. He is Bizzaro Peter, the anti-owner, Fredo Spanos to the contrary, a mild-mannered man who became a superhero after being bitten by a radioactive player agent.He has become the opposite of what most baseball employers are or want to be.
As someone who grew up in the Dodgers’ family and now can’t stand the sight of them, who wants to beat them as Buddy Rich might machine-gun his snare drum. But Peter is spending too much dough in a “small market,” spending hundreds of millions to build a lineup featuring Manny Machado, Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts, not to mention starters Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove and Blake Snell.I’m sick of this small market crap. San Diego County has 3.3 million residents. If Petco isn’t sold out every night, it will be close. The team’s FanFest looked like Times Square on New Year’s Eve.Maybe it won’t work out. But it’s his money.
