San Diego Padres GM AJ Preller announced today that he's still doing his holiday shopping when he signed left handed relief pitcher Buddy Baumann for the 2016 season. He could find himself a home in the Padres bullpen or live on a bus with the AAA affiliate. We'll know more in Spring Training. Baumann came up with the Royals. I'll say this, it's nice having a Buddy back on the team.
