The Padres have signed Mark Kotsay to a one-year contract that will keep him with the team through the 2013 season.
San Diego likes Kotsay's left-handed bat off the bench and his place in the clubhouse.
"I enjoy my role here," he said. "Being a part of this club going forward is exciting for me, to have this opportunity and be one of the leaders of the club inside the locker room and to be able to contribute on field still and have some success is something that I enjoy doing. I love the game of baseball, and couldn't be more happy to have this opportunity to do it at home in San Diego."
Kotsay is hitting .275 this season with one home run and nine RBIs in 102 at-bats.
