According to MLB.com’s Corey Brock, Padres GM Kevin Towers has a veteran catcher as the final item on his offseason wish list. His good friend Brad Ausmus appears to be the target, with a resolution possible by week’s end. Brock figures he could sign for less than a million bucks.
The Padres traded for Ausmus back in ’93 and sent him to the Tigers in the blockbuster deal of ’96.
