Padres Close to Signing Outfielder Connor Joe

SAN DIEGO, CA – The San Diego Padres are reportedly nearing a deal with utility player Connor Joe, according to multiple sources. Details of the contract, represented by John Boggs & Associates, have not yet been disclosed. More information is expected soon.

Joe, who boasts a career OPS of .784, spent the 2022 season with the Colorado Rockies, appearing in 114 games. While his offensive production dipped slightly last season, Joe’s versatility across the outfield and infield makes him a valuable asset. His ability to contribute in multiple positions adds depth to the Padres’ roster.

Joe’s signing marks another strategic move by Padres General Manager AJ Preller, who continues to bolster the team’s lineup ahead of the upcoming season. Fans are eager to see how Joe integrates into the Padres’ dynamic roster and contributes to their pursuit of a playoff berth.
