Padres signed OF Mark Kotsay to a one-year extension through 2013. It's not clear how much he'll get, but it will likely be close to the $1.25 million he's making this season. Kotsay, 36, has batted a pedestrian .275/.333/.363 this season for San Diego, but the Padres value his bat off the bench and clubhouse presence.
