Since when can the Padres spend like the Dodgers? They are eating $15 million a year to have BJ Upton sit on the bench to get a closer.

Wow... Kimbrel is by far the best closer in the game today. Why did the Braves let him go?? :shrug:

Because they aren't going anywhere anytime soon and they rid themselves of Upton's horrible contract.

Yea, I get that... I guess I still have a hard time understanding the logic of dumping what could be one of the alltime great closers, just to rid yourself of BJ's contract...
