While most of San Diego was asleep, the Padres signed an All-Star shortstop to a huge free agent deal
A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the contract to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it was pending a physical.
San Diego also met with Aaron Judge and Trea Turner before the big stars opted for different teams. The Padres reached the NL Championship Series this year before losing to the Phillies. The 30-year-old Bogaerts was one of the headliners in a stellar group of free-agent shortstops that also included Turner, Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson.
Bogaerts is a .292 hitter with 156 homers and 683 RBIs in 10 big league seasons — all with Boston. He helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 2013 and 2018.
