On Saturday, ESPN reported that the Padres released former World Series Champion Brian Dozier.
Dozier was most recently with the Washington Nationals this past season where he played a rotational role in helping them win the 2019 title. His time with the Padres last just under five months, ending with no games played.
He was set to make $2.2 million this year if he was added to the Padres’ 40-man roster.
Last season, Dozier hit .238/.340/.430 with 20 home runs and 50 RBIs in his lone season with the Nationals.
