The San Diego Padres are now officially the only show in town.
With news breaking Thursday that the San Diego Chargers are moving to Los Angeles for the start of the 2017 season, San Diego is now the only MLB city with no other big-four sports team in it.
"We are deeply disappointed by the news that the Chargers are leaving San Diego," Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler said in a statement. "The Chargers are a community treasure, and we have always believed that San Diego is better off with the team here. That said, we know San Diego will continue to grow and become an even more vibrant community."
The Padres have been in San Diego since joining as an expansion team 1969, while the Chargers had been part of the city since 1961.
