Ty France Reveals True Feelings About Padres

Ty France expressed his strong desire to re-sign with the San Diego Padres following their postseason elimination by the Milwaukee Brewers. The first baseman stated that his heart is in San Diego, though he recognized the business aspect of impending free agency as offseason talks begin.

According to a report from The Athletic's Dennis Lin, the Padres also want France to return if terms can be reached. France originally signed a one-year, $1.35 million contract, delivering a 139 OPS+ and 4.5 bWAR during his productive campaign.
