The San Diego Padres have agreed to a $2,125,000, one-year deal with Yankees utilityman Jerry Hairston Jr.
The deal with the infielder-outfielder comes two days after the Padres completed a trade with Oakland to reacquire Hairston’s younger brother, Scott.
Jerry Hairston Jr. split the 2009 season between Cincinnati and the Yankees. He was with the Yankees when they won the World Series. He combined to hit .251 with 10 home runs and 39 RBIs.
The Hairstons would become the seventh set of brothers to play for the Padres and the fifth to play as teammates.
The Mets also reportedly had interest in Jerry Hairston.
