Adam Engel Joins Padres On One-Year Deal
The San Diego Padres signed free-agent outfielder Adam Engel to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. Engel became a free agent this offseason when the Chicago White Sox did not tender him a new deal for 2023. The 31-year-old glove-first player comes to San Diego after six years with the Pale Hose in which he slashed an underwhelming .225/.280/.350 with a .631 OPS, 30 home runs 123 RBI, 173 runs scored and 47 stolen bases in 523 games. In 119 games in 2022, Engel hit .224 with two homers, 17 RBI, 32 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 260 plate appearances. Engel can play all three outfield positions and will give the Friars some much-needed outfield depth, although he's unlikely to move the needle at all in fantasy as a bench player.
