Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

Ausmus could be a Pad -- nevermind he's a Dodger

Ausmus could fit in Padres' plans

Towers indicated that a catcher could be signed by the end of this week. All indications are that veteran Brad Ausmus -- who makes his home in nearby Del Mar, Calif. -- is the Padres' primary target.

Man Ausmus hasn't been with the Padres since 1993.  I remember back in 1995 I was playing some baseball game on the Sega Saturn or Dreamcast or something and Dustin Hermanson was pitching and Brad Ausmus was catching and even then it seemed like a long time since Ausmus had played for the Padres.

Well here we are, 16 years later and the Padres are in need of a veteran pretty boy catcher, so the only answer is Ausmus.

As noted in the comments.

Ausmus signed by the Dodgers

Well that was quick.

I should have added a poll

Were you over the age of 5 the last time Ausmus was a Padre. I’ll save that for when they sign him.

that was 1996

So I’ll take the over for me.
