The San Diego Padres signed veteran outfielder/infielder Miguel Andujar to a one-year contract on Wednesday with a mutual option for 2027.
MLB.com reported the deal is worth $4 million, and Andujar can earn up to $2 million in performance incentives.
Andujar, who turns 31 on March 2, batted a combined .318 with 10 home runs, 44 RBIs, a .352 on-base percentage and .470 slugging percentage in 94 games in 2025 with the Athletics (60 games) and Cincinnati Reds (34).
The right-handed hitter has played in the outfield, at third base and first base as well as designated hitter in his nine seasons.
For his career, Andujar is batting .282 with 53 homers, 223 RBIs, a .315 on-base percentage and .441 slugging percentage in 467 regular-season games with the New York Yankees (2017-22), Pittsburgh Pirates (2022-23), Athletics (2024-25) and Reds (2025).
The Athletics sent Andujar at the 2025 trade deadline to the Reds for minor league right-hander Kenya Huggins. Andujar, a native of the Dominican Republic, became a free agent in November.
His best season came in 2018, when he finished second to Shohei Ohtani, then of the Los Angeles Angels, in American League Rookie of the Year voting after hitting .297 with 27 homers and 92 RBIs for the Yankees.
