Christian Villanueva has been released by the Padres so he can sign with the Yomiuri Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
Villanueva made waves on the fantasy scene last year for his power, hitting 20 homers in 351 at-bats in 2018. However, that came with a low batting average and sub-.300 OBP. Villanueva will see if he can thrive as a 26-year-old in Japan and potentially return stateside to cash in ala several recent players.
