The day many have been waiting for has finally arrived. Coveted free agent Eric Hosmer signed a contract. Unfortunately, it was not with the Kansas City Royals. Instead, Hosmer picked the San Diego Padres.
Late Saturday night news broke that the San Diego Padres and Eric Hosmer had reached an agreement on a contract. When news broke that he was leaving, no one was really surprised. I think, for the most part, Kansas City fans knew Hosmer was not coming back.
Eric Hosmer has agreed to an 8-year contract with the #Padres that includes an opt-out after 5 years, source says.
