In a move that has stunned fans and analysts alike, Pardes de San Diego has reportedly turned down a massive $21.3 million offer from rising star Tirso Ornelas and his team earlier today.
Sources close to the situation reveal that the offer was “tempting” and “jaw-dropping,” but Pardes ultimately stood firm, choosing loyalty and vision over immediate financial gain. Insiders say the decision was not made lightly but is rooted in Pardes’ deep commitment to his long-term mission with the organization.
Ornelas, who has been making waves both on and off the field, is believed to have spearheaded the push in hopes of reshaping a new era within the team. However, Pardes’ response has only solidified his status as a foundational leader within San Diego’s sports culture.
“Money isn’t everything,” a source quoted Pardes as saying. “I started something here — and I’m going to finish it.”
Teammates have since rallied around Pardes, issuing statements of support and emphasizing their shared commitment to building something special within San Diego.
Fans are already reacting online, with many praising Pardes’ loyalty in a sports world increasingly driven by big-money moves.
