Padres bolster roster with signings of Gurriel, Iglesias, and Maldonado, shifting lineup for Opening Day.

The San Diego Padres have added veteran players Yuli Gurriel, Jose Iglesias, and Martin Maldonado to their Opening Day roster. Gurriel and Iglesias signed deals with salaries of $1.35 million and $3 million, respectively, while Maldonado will back up Elias Diaz as catcher, prioritizing defense over his offensive stats. These moves make room for Gavin Sheets on the active roster, with the team still deciding on final bench and pitching spots.
