The Padres have signed infielder Cody Ransom to a minor league deal, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). Meister Sports Management represents Ransom, who became a free agent last month.
Ransom started this past season with the Diamondbacks, but the Brewers claimed him off of waivers in May. Three months later, the Diamondbacks claimed him back from Milwaukee and he spent the final month of the season in Arizona. In 282 total plate appearances, Ransom posted a .220/.312/.411 batting line with 11 home runs and 14 doubles. The 36-year-old played all four infield positions.
