Breyvic Valera claimed by San Diego off waivers

Former Toronto Blue Jays infielder Breyvic Valera has been claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres.

What It Means:

Valera spent 2019 splitting time in the Blue Jays and New York Yankees organization, mostly playing at each team's Triple-A affiliate. The former put him on waivers in an effort to clear room for the 60-man player pool that will define the 2020 season, and it seems as though the Padres could have use for the utility infielder.

Our models currently project Valera for a .213 batting average with 1 home run, 5 RBI, 5 runs and a .615 OPS across 52 plate appearances.
