While more than half of the league seems perfectly content to not spend a dime this offseason, there’s one team that’s seizing the opportunity in hopes of bringing a World Series home in 2021.
The San Diego Padres, who, just yesterday, I said were the clear-cut winners of the offseason in the National League – aren’t done yet. The club went out and re-signed utilityman Jurickson Profar, inking him to a three-year, $21 million deal.
The contract features opt-outs after both the 2021 and 2022 seasons – hardly a deterrent for a team like the Padres, who are swimming in depth.
