After being released by the Mets, Robinson Canó has found a new home. The
Padres announced a Major League deal with the eight-time All-Star on Friday.

The 39-year-old Canó was designated for assignment by the Mets on May 2
despite still having two years and $37.6 million left on his contract. He
batted .195 with one home run and three RBIs in 12 games with New York in
2022. After being DFAed, Canó will earn the veteran minimum in San Diego.

To make room on the 26-man roster, the Padres optioned right-hander Dinelson
Lamet to Triple-A El Paso. Canó will wear No. 24 for the Padres, and
first-base coach David Macias will switch to No. 46. Canó wears No. 24 to
honor Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, his namesake, whose No. 42 has been
retired throughout MLB.

Where will Canó play?

Clearly, the Padres' offense has some upside. But its lack of depth has been
exposed in the early part of the season. That's where Canó comes in.

The veteran slugger gives the Padres a needed lefty weapon off their bench.
In a pinch, it's easy to envision Canó batting for, say, shortstop Ha-Seong
Kim, catcher Austin Nola or outfielder José Azocar late in games. Bob Melvin
has always been one of the league's most aggressive managers when it comes to
playing matchups.

Canó might also get occasional starts at designated hitter -- though Luke
Voit announced his return to the lineup with authority on Wednesday, and the
Padres still view Voit as their regular DH. Canó could serve as a backup at
second base, too (which, by default, gives the Padres extra cover at
shortstop as well, because starting second baseman Jake Cronenworth can
handle both positions).

What does Canó bring?

No, this is not the same Canó who recorded five consecutive top six MVP
finishes from 2010-14, and it's not the same Canó who won five Silver
Slugger Awards and two Gold Gloves with the Yankees.

But it is a low-risk option who could give the Padres a boost against
right-handed pitching. Canó missed the entire 2021 season due to his second
PED suspension. In '20, he batted, .339/.368/.534 against right-handers. He's
off to a slow start in '22, but the Padres are hopeful he can tap into some
of that production.

Canó also hails from San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic, where
Fernando Tatis Jr. is from. They've played together in the Dominican Winter
League for Estrellas Orientales, with Tatis' father as manager.
