The Padres have signed infielder/outfielder Nick Solak and left-hander Omar Cruz to minor league deals, likely inviting them to spring training. Solak, 31, struggled in the majors with a .252 batting average but excelled in the minors, posting a .332/.411/.492 line last year. Cruz, 27, made his MLB debut in 2023 and was non-tendered before re-signing; he had a 3.96 ERA in the minors with strong strikeout rates. Both players provide depth for San Diego’s roster.
