The San Diego Padres are the latest team to face the ramifications of the Diamond Sports bankruptcy.
Diamond Sports has reportedly already missed a payment to the Padres, an unsurprising result of their financial problems.
But according to Sports Business Journal, they also have a “good chance” of missing the grace period too. If Diamond doesn’t make up the missing payment by May 30th, it could trigger a rights reversion.
