The scuffling San Diego Padres have claimed catcher Gary Sánchez off waivers from the New York Mets. The two-time All-Star was designated for assignment last week.
SAN DIEGO — The scuffling San Diego Padres claimed catcher Gary Sánchez off waivers from the New York Mets on Monday night.
With the disappointing Padres getting meager offensive production at catcher, they hope Sánchez can provide a boost. Austin Nola is batting .131 with three extra-base hits and a paltry .434 OPS in 39 games. His part-time platoon partner, second-stringer Brett Sullivan, is hitting .170 with four extra-base hits and a .482 OPS in 21 games since getting called up from the minors April 16.
San Diego is responsible for just over $1 million in salary for Sánchez after assuming his $1.5 million, one-year contract. San Diego becomes the third National League team to take a close look at the 30-year-old Sánchez this season. He spent time in the minors with San Francisco before getting released May 2 and signing a minor league contract a week later with the Mets, who were minus a couple of injured catchers at the time.
