The San Diego Padres caused the first domino to fall when they inked Ian Kinsler to a contract this past week. However, Kinsler is the first of the available second basemen to find a new home. His deal will give other agents an idea of what their clients at the keystone can expect. And this isn’t the best scenario for the Milwaukee Brewers, and it does have an impact on Jed Lowrie‘s market.
What was Kinsler’s deal?
The Padres signed Kinsler to a two-year deal worth $8 million. His contract also comes with an option year for 2021.
