Bochy Gets Extension

Bruce Bochy, the winningest manager in San Diego Padre history, agreed to terms of a two-year contract extension on Wednesday night.

The deal was announced just before the Padres’ game against the Dodgers. Bochy’s contract had been set to expire at season’s end.

Bochy reportedly had agreed to a deal during spring training, but owner John Moores tabled it while hiring Sandy Alderson as chief executive. When Moores hired Alderson on April 19, the owner said Bochy’s fate would largely be decided by Alderson.

The Padres also announced that Adam Eaton (9-2), the team’s winningest pitcher this season, and catcher Ramon Hernandez were put on the 15-day disabled list.

The Baltimore Orioles put outfielder B.J. Surhoff on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained muscle above his ribcage, and recalled outfielder David Newhan from triple-A Ottawa.

Newhan is back up after getting sent down Sunday when Luis Matos was activated off the DL.

San Francisco’s Felipe Alou and Milwaukee’s Ned Yost were picked as National League coaches by St. Louis Manager Tony La Russa.
