The San Diego Padres have a hole at first base, as Josh Bell, Brandon Drury and Wil Myers are free agents. That hole could be filled by former Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu.
MLB Network’s Jon Morosi tweeted this morning that Abreu has talked with the Padres this month. The 35-year-old is one of San Diego’s priorities this winter.
Sources: Free agent José Abreu has spoken with #Padres officials this month. Abreu is a top priority for the Padres, who are seeking middle-of-the-order power and have an opening at the DH/1B spot.
