By this point, the Padres might be looking towards next season as their chance to drop down a tier or two, and 2023 will be a pure go-for-it season.  If they crunch the numbers and figure that they'll be over the third tier threshold anyway, they might as well keep spending (maybe staying under the Cohen line)

Can the Giants send Bart back down to the minors - if he does make the team as a catcher?

Bart has another option remaining, yes

Is realignment conceivable relatively soon?  Would MLB be more likely to consider it pre- or post-Expansion?
Mark P

Probably post-expansion, and that almost surely won't happen until the next CBA
