Pedro Severino Joins The Padres
2 years agoThe San Diego Padres agreed to a split deal with free-agent catcher Pedro Severino on Tuesday that will pay him $1.95 million if he's in the majors and includes $550,000 in performance bonuses, according to a source familiar with the deal. The 29-year-old backstop only appeared in eight games for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2022, going 4-for-18 with an RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts. The Padres already have Austin Nola, Luis Campusano and Brett Sullivan on the roster at the position, so there's a good chance Severino will open the 2023 season in the minor leagues. In his eight big-league seasons, Severino has a slash line of .235/.306/.371 with a .677 OPS, 33 home runs, 134 RBI and 107 runs scored over 370 games. He'll represent catching depth for the Friars.
