The San Diego Padres are committed to improving their roster in any possible way. Often times, this actually means getting younger.
This week, the team parted ways with outfielder Oswaldo Arcia, clearing up minor league space.
The move comes after the organization designated Arcia for assignment last week when they made roster adjustments due to the Rule 5 Draft deadline. While the 25-year-old was the only player receiving a demotion who embraced his assignment, his minor league stint didn’t last long.
In 2016, Arcia played just 14 games in San Diego.
