Jose Iglesias, Padres Agree To A Deal
Free-agent veteran infielder Jose Iglesias and the San Diego Padres agreed to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The New York Post's Jon Heyman reports it's a minor-league deal with an invitation to camp. The 35-year-old will make $3 million if he's in the big leagues and will have incentives that can earn him an extra $1 million. The Cuban infielder joined the New York Mets late last season and impressed with a .337/.381/.448 slash line, four home runs, 26 RBI, six steals and 39 runs scored in 85 regular-season games while helping the team advance to the National League Championship Series. Fantasy managers should not expect Iglesias to hit that well again in San Diego, though, where he'll likely bounce around as a utility infielder for the Friars. Iglesias' biggest value to the Padres might be his locker-room presence.
