Ken Rosenthal reports that the San Diego Padres have signed free agent lefty Drew Pomeranz. There is no word yet on the terms of the deal. [Update, Bill Baer: It’s expected to be for four years at $34 million, per Robert Murray.]
Pomeranz struggled in the Giants rotation last season but he was outstanding down the stretch out of the pen after being traded to Milwaukee, posting a 2.39 ERA and 45/8 K/BB ratio across 26.1 innings. He’ll likely continue as a lefty bullpen arm for the Padres -- again, that 5.68 ERA with the Giants was pretty ugly -- though he could also be a rotation option in a pinch.
