San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres took down the Athletics, 13-9, on Friday afternoon and evened out to 10-10 overall during spring training. Each team unleashed four home runs on the day, but the Padres overcame a seven-run fourth inning by the A's with a five-run eighth inning (and a pair in the ninth) to seal the deal.

In other news, there is a major update on the imminent sale of the Padres organization. The new ownership group of the Friars will have one less candidate as a potential buyer is out of the running, but according to CNBC's Mike Ozanian, they will likely need close to $3 billion to seal the deal.

"The Padres, they're going to probably sell in the next couple months for close to $3 billion," Ozanian said on the CNBC Sport podcast. "That's going to set a new record for Major League Baseball by far, about $600 million more than the Mets. Why? One of the reasons why is they've really built up their non-baseball business. Concerts, all these other events that they have at Petco Park. Now they're helping other teams and parks do the same thing."

Additionally, another Padres infielder has an oblique injury in an unfortunate update. According to manager Craig Stammen, it appears that the injury was sustained 10 days ago, but the severity can very well keep him on the shelf for the start of the season.

Finally, some more roster cuts have been made as Opening Day is less than two weeks away on March 26 against the Detroit Tigers. An outfielder was cut from the spring roster and a pitcher was optioned, moving the total number of players in the Padres' camp to 56.
