Padres release Brian Dozier

The San Diego Padres have granted Brian Dozier his release.

What It Means:

It's not clear exactly why the team released Dozier, but he was not included in their 60-man pool. Assuming he's healthy, he should be able to catch on with another team in the near future.

The 33-year-old made 482 for the Washington Nationals last season, batting a decent .238 with 20 home runs, 54 runs, and 50 RBI. He still has plenty left in the tank, and should reappear on another squad before too long.
