Sanchez signed a minor league contract with the Padres on Tuesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
Analysis:
The Padres are expected to give Austin Hedges his shot to be the primary catcher in the big leagues, meaning Sanchez will likely spend another year in either a backup role or in an organizational depth role.
