Marlins signed OF Jorge Padilla to a minor league contract. | ||||||
Padilla, 32, has not appeared in a major league game since 2009, when he batted just .120/.154/.120 in 26 plate appearances with the Mets. He is highly unlikely to climb his way to the majors with the Marlins. | ||||||

Mets acquired OF Jorge Padilla from the Blue Jays; optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo. | ||||||
Padilla was inked to a minor league contract over the winter by the Jays and hit .330/.405/.459 with four home runs, 27 RBI and seven stolen bases in 185 at-bats for Triple-A Las Vegas. Perhaps he'll have better luck reaching the major leagues as a member of the Mets. | ||||||
