Padres Reach One-Year Agreement With Miguel Andújar

Reports peg a $4 million guarantee with bonuses, reflecting a bet on his 2025 bat over his glove.

Overview

  • Multiple national outlets report San Diego and Andújar have an agreement, while MLB.com notes the club has not yet confirmed the move.
  • The pact is for one year at $4 million with up to $2 million in performance incentives, according to reporting from ESPN and MLB.com.
  • Andújar revived his market with a .318/.352/.470 line and 10 home runs over 94 games for the Athletics and Reds in 2025.
