Eric Hosmer has given Glenn Hoffman a Rolex watch as a token of his appreciation after the San Diego Padres third base coach gave up his No. 30 jersey to the club's new slugger.

Hosmer wore No. 35 with the Kansas City Royals, but the Padres retired that number for Hall of Famer Randy Jones. Hosmer wanted to wear No. 30 as a tribute to his late Royals teammate Yordano Ventura, who died in a car crash in the Dominican Republic in January 2017.

"Like I said to Hoffy, it was extremely meaningful for me," Hosmer said. "So I wanted to get a nice gesture for him. It's an unwritten rule throughout the league that if a veteran guy comes and asks for a number and somebody has it, you do something like that for him."

Hoffman has since switched to jersey No. 26.

"I bet there were a lot of coaches who were mad they didn't have '30' after that," Hosmer said, laughing.
