ATLANTA — Robinson Cano is in Atlanta and is expected to be in a Padres uniform at Truist Park and be available to play against the Braves on Friday.
The team and the 39-year-old infielder have agreed on a contract that will pay Cano the major league minimum this season, according to sources. The deal and his availability are pending the standard physical.
The Mets released Cano on Sunday and will pay him the approximately $40 million remaining on the contract he signed with the Mariners in 2014.
