The Padres are expected to sign outfielder Carlos Rodriguez to a minor league deal, reports Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic. The agreement includes an invitation to MLB Spring Training. Not to be confused with the Brewers’ pitching prospect or the Rays’ executive of the same name, Rodriguez was most recently in the Braves’ system.
Rodriguez ranked among Atlanta’s top 30 prospects after signing in minor league free agency ahead of the 2025 campaign. FanGraphs and MLB.com both had him ranked at 25th. The 22-year-old torched Double-A pitching for 10 games, then moved up to Triple-A. Rodriguez posted an underwhelming .640 OPS with Gwinnett, but did pop a career-high eight home runs to go with 17 stolen bases. He hit minor league free agency once again at the conclusion of the season.
