NBC 7/39 is reporting that Padres owner John Moores is going to sell 49 percent of the team as part of a divorce settlement with his wife Becky. This comes as a surprise, but it could ultimately be good news for the Padres franchise. There's been speculation that the Padres would severely cut back payroll this winter because Moores was going to potentially lose a major portion of his assets. Perhaps that will happen anyway -- these things rarely come together quickly -- but the Padres could be better positioned going forward with another owner.Source: NBC 7/39
