The San Diego Padres made a difficult decision by designating out-of-options infielder Eguy Rosario for assignment as they prioritize veteran players on their 40-man roster. Rosario, who has demonstrated skill in Triple-A, struggles with high strikeout rates and low on-base percentages in the majors. President A.J. Preller expressed confidence in Rosario's big league potential and indicated efforts to trade him in the coming week. With competition from established infielders, Rosario has only limited big league experience, highlighting the challenges he faces in securing a roster spot.
"Eguy's a big league player...He's going to get an opportunity to go elsewhere and play in the big leagues I would think immediately, and we'll try to add some value through a trade here in the next week."
Rosario has often shown glimpses of upside and has hit well in Triple-A...however, he's also posted huge strikeout totals and poor OBP marks in the majors."
