Contract:
Joe Musgrove and the Padres on Tuesday agreed to one-year, $8.625 million deal for the 2022 season, avoiding arbitration. The two sides have not yet discussed a long-term contract to keep the native San Diegan in his hometown beyond this season, although that door remains wide open as far as Musgrove is concerned.
“It’s been in the back of my mind,” Musgrove said after allowing two runs in three innings in his Cactus League debut in a 6-1 loss to the Guardians.
“I don’t know if they’ve thought about it … but this is a place I’m from and I love playing here. And especially with the team being the caliber it is now, this is definitely a place I’d like to stay for a while. It has not been approached or brought to me yet, but it’s something that (I have) thought about.”
