The San Diego Padres and shortstop Khalil Greene have finalized a two year contract that will pay Greene $11 million dollars. Greene was rumored a few times in the off season to possibly being traded to the Chicago Cubs, but nothing ever happened with that deal.
Greene will now be under the Padres control for the next two years, and then he will be open to free agency. The Padres had hoped to sign him to a three or four year deal, but settled on two. Good signing for both Greene and the Padres I think.
