As per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, the San Diego Padres resumed their pursuit of free-agent Eric Hosmer. They’re so enamored with him, in fact, they”re willing to pass on the monster free-agent class of 2019 just to lock Hosmer up now.
As I’ve said here before, signing Eric Hosmer to a long-term deal has its risks, no doubt. But adding a player of his quality would bring this franchise to another level.
Signing Hosmer would mean no play for Manny Machado, Josh Donaldson, DJ LeMahieu or Marwin Gonzalez.
