 More Padres NewsA baseball source said Thursday that the Padres are close to signing free-agent outfielder Milton Bradley to a one-year deal worth a reported $4 million. Bradley, 29, hit .313 with 11 home runs and 30 RBIs in just 42 games with the Padres last season. He was obtained in June from the A's and had an immediate impact on the team's lineup, though he battled an oblique and hamstring injury. Bradley suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the final week of the regular season after a much-publicized run-in with umpire Mike Winters. Kevin Towers has been told by Bradley's agent that he will be ready on or near Opening Day, though May 1 may be a more realistic date. |
