San Diego Padres' Xander Bogaerts speaks at news conference held to announce that his $280 million, 11-year contact with the Padres has been finalized, Friday, Dec. 9, 2022, in San Diego.
Bogaerts and the Padres finalized a $280 million, 11-year contract after the four-time All-Star passed his physical. The Padres already have two shortstops on the roster, including Fernando Tatis Jr., who will be eligible to return April 20 from an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The other is Ha-Seong Kim, who played well while filling in for Tatis, an All-Star in 2021 who missed all of last season.
The Padres eliminated the 101-win New York Mets in the wild-card round before beating the 111-win NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series. They lost the NL Championship Series to the Philadelphia Phillies in five games. General manager A.J. Preller said that when he spoke with Machado about bringing in Bogaerts as another shortstop/infielder, the All-Star’s response was: “The more the merrier.”
