San Diego Padres: Best Bargain Buys of the Past Decade

This is what the Padres do best: obtain quality players for as little as possible.

Being a small market team forces the Padres to be fiscally responsible. Sure, as fans, it’s frustrating to see our best talents leave for higher pay. However, it’s a truth we must accept.

When it comes to the best “bargains,” there are two ways of defining it: 1. the best player for the cheapest price and 2. getting the most resources when selling.
