Dozier was released by the Padres on Saturday.
The writing appeared to be on the wall for Dozier's Padres career when he was left out of the team's player pool in late June. Whether that was the team's choice or his remains to be seen. It's unclear whether the veteran intends to latch on with another team this season. In 135 games for the Nationals last year, Dozier hit a respectable .238/.340/.430 with 20 homers.
