The San Diego Padres have added yet another former New York Yankees player, signing ex-Yankees infielder Pablo Reyes to a minor-league contract on Thursday.
Reyes, 32, hit .194 (6-for-31) with two RBIs, a stolen base, and a .468 OPS in 24 games last season. The Yankees released him in June, and although he signed with the crosstown Mets, he did not return to the majors.
A seven-year veteran who has played for five teams, Reyes is a versatile utilityman who has primarily played second base, shortstop, and third base in the majors. He’s also seen extensive outfield experience, mainly in center and right field.
Reyes’ contract is expected to include an invitation to spring training. It is unclear if the contract features an opt-out clause.
