The San Diego Padres announced yesterday that they have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with infielder Jorge Cantu and have agreed to terms on a minor league contract with right-handed pitcher Greg Burke with an invitation to Major League Spring Training.
Cantu, 28, spent the 2010 season between the Florida Marlins and Texas Rangers, hitting a combined .256 (121-for-472) with 11 home runs, 29 doubles, 56 RBI and 50 runs scored in 127 games played. In each of the previous two seasons with the Marlins he produced at least 95 RBI while setting a career-high with 29 home runs in 2008. The right-handed hitting infielder started 123 games last season, 86 at third base.
Burke, 28, spent the entire 2010 season with Triple-A Portland, going 2-2 with a 5.68 ERA (37 ER/58.2 IP) and 46 strikeouts against 21 walks over 53 appearances.
