The San Diego Padres have agreed to re-sign veteran catcher Elias Diaz to a one-year, $3.5 million deal. Díaz joined the Padres on a minor-league deal in August after being granted his release by the Colorado Rockies.
Diaz\'s .695 OPS last season was in line with his .692 career mark.
Diaz\'s deal will take the Padres’ projected payroll to $211 million and their estimated luxury tax figure to $245 million, according to FanGraphs.
