SAN DIEGO (AP) — Free-agent reliever Wandy Peralta and the San Diego Padres have agreed to a $16.5 million, four-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal said Wednesday.
The person spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical exam and hadn’t been finalized.
The 32-year-old left-hander spent the last three seasons with the New York Yankees.
While they still have big holes elsewhere heading into spring training, the budget-minded Padres at least have a well-stocked bullpen.
The Padres have only two outfielders on their active roster and need to firm up their rotation behind Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove and Michael King.
