Wed Dec 2 202023:47Strahm gets $2.05 -year contract with Padres
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres agreed to a $2.05 million, one-year contract with left-handed reliever Matt Strahm on Wednesday. They also tendered contracts to their five remaining arbitration-eligible players, outfielder Tommy Pham and right-handers Dan Altavilla, Zach Davies, Dinelson Lamet and Emilio Pagán. Strahm was 0-1 with 2.61 ERA in 19 appearances in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, when the Padres ended a 14-year playoff drought. They beat St. Louis in the wild-card round before being swept in the NL Division Series by the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Pham, whose regular season was interrupted by a hand injury, hit .211 with three homers. He was stabbed outside a San Diego strip club in October and has sued the establishment. Lamet, who became San Diego's best starter by going 3-1 with a 2.09 ERA, missed the playoffs with an elbow injury. Davies also is a starter while Altavilla and Pagán are relievers. The Padres did not tender a contract to infielder Greg Garcia, who grew up in suburban El Cajon and is a grandson of the late Dave Garcia, who managed the Indians and Angels. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Tingler said the recovery time could be two to three weeks, and after that it would be a "pain tolerance deal. We’ve got a lot of confidence in Hos being able to take a high level of pain.”The Padres began the day with the second-best record in the National League. The regular season ends Sept. 27.Hosmer was injured while trying to bunt in the first inning in Monday night's 1-0 victory against the Colorado Rockies. Tingler said his players "have a lot of freedom at the plate” and thinks Hosmer was trying to beat a shift by dropping “an easy hit” down the third base line because third baseman Nolan Arenado was...
