The San Diego Padres have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with outfielder Chris Denorfia and tendered contracts to 35 other players. Already under contract are newly acquired closer Huston Street, infielders Jason Bartlett and Orlando Hudson, and outfielder Mark Kotsay. The Padres non-tendered outfielder Jeremy Hermida. Denorfia hit .277 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 2011, when the Padres finished last in the NL West. Hermida was designated for assignment on Wednesday.

Padres farm system: Deep and talented

Via Friar Forecast  |  December 14, 2011
In case you haven’t noticed, the San Diego Padres have rejuvenated the farm system. If there’s reason to be excited about the future of this franchise, the talent in the minor leagues should do the trick. The system has been making gradual strides over the years, but it was during the Jed Hoyer/Jason McLeod regime where the biggest steps were taken, thanks to big returns for...

  The contract deadline has come and passed so now we have a bigger idea of what the free agent pool looks like. There are a lot of names out there that teams would want to go after, and a lot of players that could be low risk for the Padres to try to run after too. As we approach the middle part of the month and head towards the holidays and into January we should see the Padres...

After that point if they aren't contracted then they will be released to free agency. The Padres have quite a few players who are up for arbitration. I'm sure we will know more in the coming hours what happens. And as I...
