New Padres owner mocks Dodgers as rivalry reignites before Wild Card game
Summary

José E. Feliciano, the new owner of the San Diego Padres, made a remark about the Los Angeles Dodgers, calling their players 'dinosaurs' during a press event before Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs. The comment, interpreted by Dodgers fans as a joke about the team's aging roster, has further fueled the longstanding rivalry between the two teams. Feliciano's comments were delivered in a light-hearted manner, but they elicited strong reactions on social media, with Dodgers fans responding with their own jabs. The Padres and Dodgers may soon face each other in the postseason if October results favorably for both teams.
