Jose Iglesias had a single, “OMG,” debut at No. 1 in Billboard’s Latin digital song sales in July 2024. He dropped a new single, “Roto,” last month and on Sept. 25 will perform as musical alter ego Candelita at Petco Park.

The 35-year-old is also a veteran of 13 seasons in the majors, boasts some of the quickest glove transfers in the game and can kick up with ease.

Yeah, Jose Iglesias is an easy choice for a Padre who could hack it with the Savannah Bananas, who’ll bring their world tour to Petco Park on Sept. 5 and 6.

“I think he’d do the most cool (expletive) on the field,” Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove said. “I think his personality would fit in well. He could do a concert afterwards. It would fit in with the whole Banana game.”
