The San Diego Padres have released Joshua Mears, a once-promising outfielder, after just three minor league games. Mears, a former top prospect, struggled with contact and high strikeouts, leading to his release. Despite his early promise, including seven home runs in the Arizona Summer League, his performance in advanced Class-A and Double-A stints was marred by a high whiff rate and injuries. Mears raw power and size still make him an attractive prospect, and he may yet find a new opportunity elsewhere.
