MILWAUKEE — Robinson Cano’s short stint with the San Diego Padres is about.
Considerably less than a month just after signing him, the Padres parted ways with the veteran slugger, who elected to come to be a free agent Thursday when he declined an assignment to Triple-A El Paso.
San Diego had hoped the 39-12 months-old Cano would deliver some much-necessary offense in opposition to proper-handed pitching but he batted just .091 (3 for 33) with out an further-base hit in 12 video games. He struck out 10 moments and had a single RBI for the Padres right after having introduced by the New York Mets final month.
“He experienced a rather great at-bat yesterday and it looked like he could have a prospect (to convert points all over),” manager Bob Melvin mentioned right after his team’s 5-4 decline to Milwaukee. “But this is a small business at situations. We’re a tiny down offensively and we’re trying to develop a little more output in our lineup.”
Cano was replaced on San Diego’s active roster by outfielder Nomar Mazara, a former leading prospect and productive hitter for Texas who experienced bounced around with a few various organizations the past a few a long time. He was putting up big figures at El Paso this time, hitting .367 with 7 homers, 27 RBIs and a 1.095 OPS.
