We were waiting for this day and it has come. Jurickson Profar is signing back with the San Diego Padres on a one-year, $1 million contract. As of now, he’d likely slot in as the starting left fielder on Opening Day. Based on his salary though, it’s probably safe to say the Padres want an upgrade and are planning for Profar to be a valuable utility man off the bench.
Profar deal with Padres is for $1M. Pending physical.

Signing Profar at $1 million shouldn’t be looked at as a bad thing.
