Padres finalize one-year pact with Torrealba
Yorvit Torrealba - C - San Diego Padres
Feb. 5, 2010 - 2:10 PM ET
Padres signed C Yorvit Torrealba to a one-year, $1.25 million contract with a $3.5 million mutual option for 2011.
Torrealba clearly made a poor decision in turning down a two-year, $4.5 million offer from the Rockies earlier this offseason. Nonetheless, he's a Padre now and is expected to share time behind the plate this season with Nick Hundley. The 31-year-old Torrealba batted 291/.351/.380 with two homers and 31 RBI last year in 213 at-bats for the Rockies.
