Rodriguez signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Sunday that includes an invite to major-league spring training.
Rodriguez spent the entire 2021 season at Triple-A Toledo and slashed .290/.362/.565 with 29 home runs, 94 RBI and 67 RBI across 116 games. He'll serve as a non-roster invitee this spring and should be in the mix to make his major-league debut at some point in 2022.
