Pedro Severino News
The San Diego Padres agreed to a split deal with free-agent catcher Pedro Severino on Tuesday that will pay him $1.95 million if he's in the majors and includes $550,000 in performance bonuses, according to a source familiar with the deal. The 29-year-old backstop only appeared in eight games for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2022, going 4-for-18 with an RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts. The Padres already have Austin Nola, Luis Campusano and Brett Sullivan on the roster at the position, so there's a good chance Severino will open the 2023 season in the minor leagues. In his eight big-league seasons, Severino has a slash line of .235/.306/.371 with a .677 OPS, 33 home runs, 134 RBI and 107 runs scored over 370 games. He'll represent catching depth for the Friars.
The San Diego Padres and free-agent catcher Pedro Severino reportedly agreed on a contract Monday, per MLB.com's Manny Randhawa. The agreement is a split contract that will pay him $1.95 million if he reaches the Major Leagues and includes $550,000 in performance incentives. The 29-year-old missed a chunk of the 2022 season while serving an 80-game suspension for a violation of MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, but he has a .235/.306/.371 slash line in eight seasons. While the Padres generally are a favorable fantasy lineup, Severino will likely struggle for playing time, limiting his fantasy value, even in deep two-catcher leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Pedro Severino was suspended 80 games without pay by MLB on Tuesday after testing positive for Clomiphene, a performance-enhancing substance. Severino was slated to serve as Omar Narvaez's primary back this season, but he'll now miss half of the year after violating the league's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment program. The 28-year-old Dominican spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, and he hit .248/.308/.690 with 11 home runs, 46 RBI and 32 runs scored in 419 plate appearances over 113 games in 2021. With Severino now out for the first half of the season, Mario Feliciano and Brett Sullivan figure to compete for backup duties behind the dish.
