Samad Taylor Signs Minor-League Deal with Padres
The San Diego Padres have signed infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor to a minor-league deal with an invite to Spring Training. Taylor recently elected free agency after being removed from the Seattle Mariners 40-man roster. His versatility makes Taylor an attractive utility option, but he lacks experience at the big league level. The 27-year-old has only played 38 games across parts of three seasons. He slashed .296/.378/.461 with 17 home runs, 86 RBI, and 44 stolen bases across 137 games in Triple-A with the Mariners last season. He only played in three big league games last season, but his excellent play in the minors makes him worthy of a flier. He figures to compete for a bench role on the 26-man roster during Spring Training.
