Good Friday afternoon, San Diego Padres fans. There hasn’t been much going on as far as major league offseason moves are concerned, outside of the additions of Garrett Richards and Ian Kinsler, but the team has been active in filling out their upper-minor league rosters this winter.
Before calling it a weekend, the Padres have signed three pitchers to minor league deals, including RHP Grant Sides, LHP Eric Stout, and RHP Ryan Colegate.
Sides is a 29-year-old reliever who has pitched in the Cleveland Indians and Arizona Diamondbacks’ systems since Cleveland used a 12th-round selection on him back in 2011.
