Mets fan favorite Cliff Floyd will make the rounds of the baseball parks in 2009 with the Padres as per ESPN's Ken Rosenthal.
Cliff, who was a value memeber of the Rays in 08, now goes out west to play with former Met Mike Cameron and the San Diego Padres. Floyd sign a deal worth 750K for 1 year.
Check out what Paul Podesta said at his blog here
"We've been talking for a number of weeks internally about the need to add a left-handed bat into the mix, as our bench was looking awfully right-handed. In an ideal world, we wanted to find a guy who could provide three primary skills: 1) the ability to do damage against RHP as either a pinch hitter, DH or occasional starter, 2) the ability to play somewhere other than 1B if need be, and 3) the ability to act as a leader for our younger players. We found a match in Cliff."
We wish him the best and look forward to seeing him when the Mets open Citi Field on April 13th against the Padres.
