The San Diego Padres are set to sign outfielder Carlos Rodriguez to a minor league contract, inviting him to Major League Baseball Spring Training. Rodriguez, a former top prospect for the Atlanta Braves, has shown potential with his power hitting and speed. Despite underwhelming performance in Triple-A, he hit a career-high eight home runs and stole seventeen bases. Originally signed by the Milwaukee Brewers, Rodriguez has consistently improved throughout his career. This new opportunity with the Padres offers him a chance to compete for a spot on the big-league roster.
