In some corners, there’s a combination of anger and bitterness and disappointment that Eric Hosmer is gone. That’s OK. That’s understandable.
San Diego? Really? The Padres lost 91 games last year, and they have a nice young core, sure, but if Hosmer’s free agency took him to another rebuild, why would he not do it here? No place will love him like Kansas City loved him, and that word should be in the past tense now, because his career here is in the past tense.
In some corners, there’s a combination of relief and encouragement and joy that Hosmer is gone.
