Purchasing Padres

BREAKING NEWS—San Diego, CA.

Multiple anonymous sources with information directly related to the situation are reporting that @henrystake has made a serious offer to purchase the San Diego Padres (not true). Various executives representing Henry’s Take were seen on the field at Petco Park before today’s game speaking with various members of the pitching staff including Joe Musgrove, Nick Martinez, Nabil Crismatt, Steven Wilson, Luis Garcia, and Pierce Johnson (fact). Because the purchase of the team has yet to receive final approval by Major League Baseball (fact), the identities of the new potential owners have been obscured.

There were also several additional, but unconfirmed, reports that a member of the new ownership group has expressed an interest in batting lead off for the Padres and starting in left field (absolutely true).

Stay tuned for updates to this developing story on all local and national media outlets.
