The San Diego Padres and longtime Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer reportedly reached an agreement Saturday on a free-agent contract, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee.
Terms were not immediately disclosed, but Acee noted the deal will "certainly be the largest monetary commitment in Padres history."
MLB Network's Jon Morosi reported Hosmer will sign an eight-year contract that includes an opt-out provision after five years.
Hosmer played a key role in helping the Royals reach the World Series in both 2014 and 2015, with the latter trip resulting in a championship.
