Jackson Merrill expressed his joy at playing for the Padres for years to come after signing his extension.

"The Padres were the first team that ever reached out to me, ever scouted me," Merrill said. "They believed in me from Day one. They wanted me. It feels good to be wanted. I always felt they had a certain trust in me.

"AJ's been there by my side, being my biggest supporter. From that first instance of talking with him, I knew I wanted to be here forever. My goal is to win. To dominate on the field with my boys. I'm just happy I get to do it for a long time now."

The Padres will hit the road to take on the Cubs in a three-game series at Wrigley Field, starting Friday.
