Padres to Sign Xander Bogaerts to 11-Year Deal, per Report He has spent his entire 10-year career in the majors with the Red Sox.
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Gets $280 million from Friars Bogaerts agreed Wednesday with the Padres on an 11-year, $280 million contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact The Padres came up short in their pursuits of Trea Turner and Aaron Judge but have now redirected that money into a megadeal for Bogaerts. It's much more than anyone projected that the infielder would get, but it seems president of baseball operations A.J. Preller wasn't going to allow himself to be outbid this time. Bogaerts figures to slot in at shortstop for San Diego in 2023, pushing Fernando Tatis Jr. to the outfield. It also provides future protection in the event that Manny Machado exercises the opt-out clause in his contract after the season. Bogaerts should be a fine fantasy asset again in 2023, especially if he's able to rediscover the power stroke that netted at least 23 home runs in 2018, 2019 and 2021.

Gets opportunity with San Diego Dahl signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday.
Impact Though he's still just 28 years old, Dahl is well removed from his days as a top-flight prospect in the Rockies system and is now simply trying to stick around in affiliated ball. Dahl has mostly avoided the significant injuries that hampered his development early in his big-league career, but he hasn't surfaced in the majors since the 2021 campaign, when he posted a .569 OPS and 26.8 percent strikeout rate over 63 games in the majors. He split time with the Brewers' and Nationals' Triple-A affiliates in 2022, slashing .279/.345/.442 with 10 home runs and four stolen bases across 359 plate appearances.
