The Padres announced that they have selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Gavin Sheets. To make room on the 40-man roster, right-hander Joe Musgrove was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Musgrove is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 season.
Sheets, 29 next month, signed a minor league deal with the Padres over the winter. He had previously spent his entire career with the White Sox but was non-tendered by that club after the 2024 season. In camp with the Friars, Sheets has had a monster showing. He has stepped to the plate 49 times over 19 games and hit six home runs. It’s a small sample size but he has an eye-popping line of .311/.367/.756.
Opening Day is still a week away. The fact that the Padres have added him to the roster today suggests he likely had some kind of opt-out on his deal. With those huge numbers, they didn’t want him to get away and have given him a roster spot today.
Getting added to the 40-man roster doesn’t guarantee Sheets a spot on the active roster. He still has one option year remaining and can therefore be sent to the minors as depth. However, the Friars are looking for affordable upgrades to their lineup.
More to come.
