Great deal for them he’s a good ballplayer.
Rangers fans are Ticked…
Phillies fans should be, too.
Andy is worth more but at least he’s can prove himself.
WS bound 🤡
Decent depth piece. Could see them moving on from Bryce Johnson in a trade now.
They don’t have anyone else to backup CF, for now.
Yeah Johnson isn’t going anywhere
Stove is hot 🥵😤‼️
I’m over here clicking refresh and my fingers keep getting burnt!
Good signing. Go Padres!
Gonna be the DH vs lefties.
This is a great pickup for the padres. The needed a right handed bat.
He should be a full time DH. He really doesn’t have any historical RH issues.
He has a career .720 OPS vs RH and .786 in 2025.
Perhaps he will get some at bats vs righties. Though they will rotate some regs to the DH spot. Which will mainly be vs righties because they can plug song in the field who bats lefty.
Damn wanted the Yankees to sign him. 4 mil is peanuts.
Yeah I know he overachieved based on expected stats, but really thought a 30 YO who has some defensive flexibility (not a great defender) would do a bit better.
Yeah, its a cheap deal. Maybe a replacement for Arias
IKF got $6M!
But what about all those young players he will block? A Guardians follower wants to know.
He blocks anyone who can hit RHP and anyone who can decently defend, silly.
They should bring in Clint Fraizer as well.
Good for Andujar. He has proved himself a reliable platoon roll player over the past few years and I am happy he is getting his little piece of the baseball dream financial pie.
He is going to be the DH vs lefties. A great pickup for the padres. they needed a rhb
Very nice. Was looking forward to seeing Campy RH DH but it sounds like he has a larger role carved out (at least initially). Just a couple more backend starters and I think the team’s got a shot to snag that last wild card.
great fit. mashes against lhp. cheap. great platoon partner with sheets.
Absolutely, for what it’s worth he also hit .290 against RHP last year so it’s not out of the question he could step into a more full time role if there ends up being a need for SD.
Padres get the right-handed bat they have been looking for at a very team friendly price.
Great fit
But the fans don’t like him !
Good signing. He’s pretty bad defensively but he can hit.
DH
While he will DH vs lefties. This still allows the DH spot to be rotated to give starters days at DH vs righties. Opening up song to play the field when regulars are getting DH days.
So basically song, Miguel platoon.
That’s definitely the plan out the gate but if the other side of that platoon isn’t carrying its weight I think they will give him at bats against RHP as well, he hit .290 against RHP in more then twice the amount of at bats then he had vs LHP last year. He absolutely crushed lefties but he wasn’t strictly a platoon guy last year either.
I agree with that, but it’s probably an oversimplification to say it’s a platoon with Song specifically because they have 3 LH hitters who play on the right side of the infield so I think it’s going to be a rotation where we’re seeing Song, Sheets and Cronenworth all DH occasionally against RH.
That’s a steal at four million, almost as valuable as the Geno deal
I like this…now get get some more arms!!!
If we still get a thick boy like ozuna or goldy I am definitely ok with this depth
Can someone check and see if the Guardians phones are working. Exactly what they needed and cheap and nothing but crickets
If what they needed was yet another guy who can’t hit RHP, can’t field his position, and is both older, more expensive, and more injury-prone than what you have already, you’re absolutely right.
But let’s not miss an opportunity to rip an organization which knows what it is doing and applaud one who doesn’t.
I was hoping the poor old Pirates would get him. I guess now they’ll sign Cutch and some retreaded left handed innings eater and that will be it for them.
Watched him come up through the minors when he was a Tampa Yankee. Always rooting for him
