BREAKING NEWS! REALLY OLD PADRE COMES OUT OF RETIREMENT TO PLAY FOR THE PADRES!

*** STORY DEVELOPING ***

 

In a slightly believable (if not paying attention), but totally unrealistic turn of events, a really old former Padre has decided to come out of retirement to play for the Padres. He will be manning a position that would not necessarily make sense even if this totally implausible situation were true. Like first base or something.

Manager Jed Hoyer commented on the situation by saying, "Said really old Padre is a mainstay in the community and his presence on the team will be a foundation for our World Series run this year."

Salary figures were not made available, but insiders say that Jeff Moorad, in an equally improbable turn of events, has freed up payroll to offer something in the range of $10 million for the really old Padre to play for one season.

"It had to be done," Moorad said sleepily through his drowsy eyes.

It's got to be Gwynn senior

But seriously, I would pay him money to DH for interleague games, and then use his son to pinch run…

I get the feeling....

That it will be Ryan Klesko. Or maybe April fools.

just realized Jesus Lopez isn't on the wiki

I thought about it

He’s both a Padres farmhand and a meme. So I didn’t feel like figuring out where he belonged and gave up. Story of my life.
