The Padres signed Pablo Reyes to a minor league deal and is expected to get an invite to Spring Training. Reyes would be considered a super utility, having played all over the infield and each of the outfield corners during his career.

not much money to spend and a potential sale of the team on the horizon, signings like this may be what the Friar Faithful can expect for the remainder of the offseason.
