Padres Open Season With $26.5M On DL

Oct 13, 2014 1:24 AM

The San Diego Padres have an Opening Day payroll of $89.4 million, a team record.

However, $26.5 million, roughly 30 percent, of that payroll is currently on the disabled list.

Carlos Quentin ($9.5 million) and Josh Johnson ($8 million), two of San Diego's three highest-paid players, are sidelined. Cameron Maybin ($5 million), Cory Luebke ($3 million), Joe Wieland and Casey Kelly are also on the disabled list for the foreseeable future.

"We have money on the DL – it's frustrating; it's frustrating for any team," Josh Byrnes said. "We can analyze it every which way – the number of days on the DL, the percentage of payroll – whatever it is it's part of the six-month deal."
