The priest officially announced that they signed the catcher again Eliasdíaz A year of transactions were achieved in the joint choice of the 2026 season. According to reports, ACES customers are guaranteed to $ 3.5mm. San Diego has multiple vacancies on the 40 -person lineup and does not need to take corresponding actions.
The 34 -year -old Dilez ended the 2024 season at Padres. After being released by the Kaiji Mountains, he reached a minor agreement with the monk, and was added to the roster before the calendar turned from August to September. He joined Kyle Higashioka and LUIS CAMPUSANO On the roster, you will choose Campusano in a week. Díaz hit .190/.292/.429 in 24 sets. During the playoffs, the male priest brought Higashioka and Díaz to the Campusano lineup. Although Higashioka took most of the works because Díaz appeared only once.
Díaz and Higashioka became free players at the end of the season, so that the male priests had a clear hole behind the plate. Higashioka signed a contract with the forest guard. The campus still on the roster seemed to be in the 2023 breakthrough season. At that time, he reached .319/.356/.491, but his lineup dropped sharply last year to 227/.281/.361. Because his defensive indicators were also poor, he was considered below this year’s replacement level.
This has made the position an obvious target area of this offseason. However, the club has been very quiet this winter. After completion, this will be their first free player signature. So far, their only trade is to get right -handed Ron MarinaCCIO After he was designated by the white socks team as the job.
This is definitely related to the situation of the club’s uncertain salary bureau. Padres spent actively when Peter Seidler owns a club, but it turns out that this is unsustainable. According to reports, in September 2023, the club “not in line with the debt rate regulations of the American Professional Baseball League.” Sedler died in November of that year. 2023-24 During the offseason, the priests hope to cut salary, which leads to Hu An Sodot Trading to Yankees.
This winter, the club once seemed to have to call more costs, which led to many rumors, involving players like this Dylan stop,,,,, Luisarráez,,,,, Michael Kim,,,,, Robert Suarez (Robert Suarez) There are others. Reports in recent days show that this situation is not so serious, and the monks do not have to cut expenditure. However, due to the holes on the left side, catcher, rotation, maybe in the guerrillas, one of the players may still need to be traded to release the money and then add other places.
Regardless of the specific details, it is obvious that the budget tightening makes AJ Preller’s activeness is far less active than that of other seasons. It also limits the club to solve their ball reception. They signed Martin Maldonado The transaction of the small league has now made a moderate investment in the transaction.
Diaz (Díaz) usually gets better gloves than bats. In his career, he reached a 78 WRC+.251/.304/.388, which showed that he had an average of 22 % of the league’s average player than the league. The catcher is usually about 10 % lower than the average value within the range, although Díaz will still be lower than the lower bar. Last year, between the Rocky Mountains and Padres, he reached the 81 WRC+.265/.313/.382.
Behind the plate, sockets such as Fangraphs, baseball prospectus and Statcast usually rank poorly, but they are close to the average level in controlling running games and strong aspects.
Díaz and Campusano now take it as a two -person group captured by the club. Campusano still has a choice that can be pushed to Triple-A, although the only supporter in the 40-person lineup is Brett SumivanHe will be 31 years old, only 103 major leagues, and 0.206/.243/.299.
Ideally, Campusano will regain his 2023 form and engage in the job. His service time is less than three years, so it may become a cheap solution controlled by the remaining four years. However, if he cannot rebound from the difficulties in 2024, then Padres now has at least one capable senior. Maldonado also gives them some experienced non -feed depth, and the club may also take further actions to solve the game.
RosterResource is now $ 245mm. This is far higher than the basic threshold of 241mm this year, although as mentioned earlier, they may change the financial situation by earning a well -known salary transaction.
El Extrabase’s Daniel álvarez-Montes first reported that Diaz has agreed to a one-year transaction, which guarantees 3.5 mm and includes a common choice.
