Bogaerts' Contract Crisis | San Diego Padres News

The Padres are stuck with a pricey, underperforming Xander Bogaerts—his $280M contract looms through 2033, and at age 41, he’s hitting .200 with a .309 SLG. His OBP hasn’t cracked .800 since leaving Boston, and power’s been missing. August? His worst month. September? Usually his best. With just 11 homers in 126 games this year (matching his last two seasons), he’s barely scraping by—still adding positive value via bWAR. While Fernando Tatis Jr. lights up the lineup, Bogaerts’ inconsistency remains the Padres’ biggest offensive puzzle.
