"Shortstop Miguel Tejada, the Padres' second-best run producer over the final two months of last season, signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.

The Padres have now lost three key members of their 90-win team to other clubs via free agency with two - Tejada and right-handed starter Jon Garland (Dodgers) - going to National League West rivals.

Catcher Yorvit Torrealba has signed with the Texas Rangers.

In addition to Tejada's signing, right-handed starting pitcher Kevin Correia formally rejected salary arbitration from the Padres on Tuesday - giving the Padres a fifth draft pick in the top 50-55 picks in next June's amateur draft.

The Padres will not get a draft pick in compensation for the loss of Tejada because the Padres didn't offer him salary arbitration.

Padres General Manager Jed Hoyer said at the end of last season that the Padres would be interested in re-signing Tejada, but not as a shortstop - and surely not for the $6.5 million that the Giants spent on the one-year contract.

The Giants signed Tejada as a shortstop after losing Juan Uribe to the Dodgers as a free agent.

The Padres acquired Tejada from Baltimore last July 29 in a trade for Double-A pitching prospect Wynn Pelzer."
