The big right-hander from suburban El Cajon had dreamed as a boy about playing for his hometown Padres, which came true when they obtained him in a three-team trade in January 2021.
At one point this summer, it looked as if a deal wasn’t going to get done and that Musgrove might hit the free agent market. But talks intensified after Musgrove made his first career All-Star Game.
“Five years, you look at the window that we have to win here,” Musgrove said. “I don’t know that it was necessarily anything other than getting the right agreement that felt fair money-wise and time-wise for both sides. Being a part of a team with Manny and Tati for five years felt very important for me.”
“I’m definitely excited to be here for more than just two years,” he said. “There’s some records out there that are going to be hard to accomplish in two years. To put myself in the record books as a Padre would be pretty cool. I’ve got some work to do. With five years, I’ve got to get to it right away.”
