The San Diego Padres rolled out a transaction graphic on Dec. 8 and, for once, the collective reaction wasn’t “Let’s go!” so much as “…who?”
The club announced the signing of right-hander Daison Acosta to a one-year deal through 2026, which is a fancy way of saying they just handed a 27-year-old minor league lifer a 40-man spot at a time when the roster has more leaks than a cheap kiddie pool. Eight seasons in the minors, zero MLB pitches, and now he’s getting the full social media treatment while the fanbase is still begging for, you know, actual proven big league help.
