Padres signed 1B Kyle Martin to a minor league contract.
Martin was destroying everything in sight this season in the Mexican League, boasting a ridiculous .364/.480/.884 batting line with 18 home runs and 47 RBI through 39 games for los Guerreros de Oaxaca. The 29-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Phillies has never appeared above the Double-A level in MLB-affiliated ball. It’d be quite a story if he were to make the climb to San Diego’s big league roster.
