Padres Obtain Rights to Robles
PEORIA, Ariz. -- The San Diego Padres acquired the rights to Mexican infielder Oscar Robles and invited him to spring training as a non-roster player.
Robles, 26, was acquired from the Oaxaca Guerreros. He is expected to join the Padres in the next few days.
Robles was released by Oakland on March 8 after the Athletics failed to reach an agreement with the Guerreros. He batted .667 with three runs scored and two RBI in five spring training games with the A's.
The Padres also optioned pitcher Michael Nicholas to Double-A Mobile and reassigned pitcher Kris Keller and infielders Chris Sexton and Mario Valdez to minor league camp.
