The San Diego Padres have signed outfielder Alex Verdugo to a minor league contract as he aims to secure a reserve spot on the roster during spring training. Verdugo, who has struggled with the Yankees and Braves, posting a .234 batting average over the past two seasons, previously showed promise with the Dodgers and Red Sox from 2019-2023. The Padres’ outfield is mostly set, but Verdugo could earn a spot if he performs well, given some uncertainty with other players.
