Jose Iglesias Signs Minor League Deal with Padres

The veteran infielder and former Mets playoff hero will join San Diego's MLB spring training camp with a chance to make the roster.

Jose Iglesias, 35, has signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres, which includes an invitation to their MLB spring training camp.
If added to the Padres' major league roster, Iglesias will earn $3 million in 2025, with the potential for an additional $1 million in performance bonuses.
Iglesias played a key role in the New York Mets' 2024 playoff run, hitting .337 with four home runs and 26 RBIs in 85 games after being called up midseason.
Off the field, Iglesias gained popularity for his song 'OMG,' which became an anthem for the Mets and their fans during their playoff push.
A 12-year MLB veteran with a .283 career batting average, Iglesias has played for seven teams and was an All-Star with the Detroit Tigers in 2015.
