San Diego Padres: Cory Spangenberg Officially Released
The San Diego Padres have released Cory Spangenberg.
Just days after Cory Spangenberg was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for one of seven prospects the San Diego Padres protected, the organization has released the 27-year-old utility player.
A first-round pick of the Padres in back in 2011 (10th overall), Spangenberg struggled in 2018, taking a big step backward from his productive 2017 campaign. The left-handed infielder and part-time outfielder is now free to sign with any team.
