Jose Miranda was another veteran player who agreed to a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres and has an invite to Spring Training. He is just one of several such additions that have been made by the Padres as they look to build their organizational depth without investing much money so they can address more pressing needs on the roster, such as starting pitching and first base. Miranda was once a promising prospect in the Minnesota Twins organization, and he had some success at the major league level before struggling in 2025. Miranda gets a fresh start in San Diego and Thomas Conroy of Gaslamp Ball thinks with a strong Spring Training he can challenge for a spot on the MLB roster.
