(San Diego) San Diego Padres star shortstop Xander Bogaerts agreed to terms on an 11-year, $280 million contract Wednesday night.
A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed the details of the contract to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, as Bogaerts needs to undergo his physical assessments.
The Padres already had Fernando Tatis Jr. as a shortstop, but he missed the entire season due to injuries and an 80-game suspension for testing positive for steroids.
The Padres also met Aaron Judge and Trea Turner but signed with another team. The Padres reached the National Championship Series this year and lost to the Philadelphia Phillies.
