The San Diego Padres reached an agreement with outfielder Miguel Andujar on a one-year, $4 million contract. The deal, pending a physical, also includes performance bonuses that could increase his earnings. Andujar, who turns 30 in March, played for the Athletics and Reds last season, demonstrating his versatility across the outfield.

Andujar's signing provides the Padres with a veteran bat and some positional flexibility. He's coming off a season where he hit .318 with 10 home runs. With a nine-year MLB career, he brings experience to the team, having previously played for the Yankees, Pirates, Athletics, and Reds.

This move gives the Padres a low-risk, potentially high-reward player. His ability to play multiple positions adds depth to their roster. Last year, Andujar showed he can still produce at the plate. The Padres are hoping Andujar can replicate his success and contribute to their offensive output in the upcoming season.
