The San Diego Padres have secured a minor league deal with outfielder/first baseman Gavin Sheets, who previously played for the Chicago White Sox. This signing is part of a busy February for the Padres as they look to bolster their roster ahead of the spring training. Sheets, 28, had a mixed performance last season, hitting .233 with 10 home runs and 45 RBIs over 139 games, but has shown potential with at least 10 home runs in each of his first four MLB seasons.

After being non-tendered by the White Sox, Sheets aims to revitalize his career in San Diego. He'll compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster, joining newly signed players Connor Joe and Jason Heyward in what appears to be a strategic push to enhance the team's offensive capabilities.

Jake Burger has joined the Texas Rangers after being traded from the Miami Marlins, marking a significant shift in his career. The former Chicago White Sox player expressed excitement about the move, citing strong personal connections to the Dallas area and the team's lineup needs.

With a solid track record against fastballs, Burger aims to bolster the Rangers' batting order as they prepare for a postseason push. His versatility in the lineup and willingness to adapt to different positions make him a valuable asset for the team.
