Garvey signs with Padres boosting pennant bid in 1983
Steve Garvey, on his 34th birthday, signed a $6.6 million guaranteed contract with the San Diego Padres, potentially $2 million per year, with bonuses that could raise the deal to $9.475 million. He aims to lead San Diego to a National League Western Division title while joining Ballard Smith and Ray Kroc in a push for a pennant. Garvey’s arrival shifts the Padres toward contender status as Dick Williams plans to bat him third or fourth and fans anticipate 2 million in attendance in 1983.
