Ruben Navarrette : Padres owner Peter Seidler's vision for San Diego's team is now a team with big names, big talents.

He bought the team in 2012 , and the Padres have baseball's best record since the All-Star break.

In 1993 , the Padres drew just 1.3 million fans, in which the team's then ownership ordered the unloading of stars such as Gary Sheffield and Fred McGriff .

The Padres have a foundation of expensive veterans such as Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts .

The Padres ' spending spree has generated a lot of commentary from other organizations.

Rival executives express shock over how much long-term debt San Diego has taken on with all of these deals.

The Padres have ranked in the top four in NL attendance every year since 2021 .

They averaged more than 41,000 fans a game -- more than any team in baseball outside Dodgers and Phillies .
