PEORIA, Ariz. -- Jered Weaver is set to join a wide-open rotation mix in San Diego, as the veteran right-hander agreed to a one-year contract with the Padres on Saturday. The deal, which is reportedly worth $3 million, was announced as official on Sunday.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the club placed right-hander Colin Rea on the 60-day DL.
The 34-year-old Weaver, who posted a 3.55 ERA in 11 seasons with the Angels, will likely slot toward the top of the Padres' starting rotation. He'll also serve as a veteran presence in one of baseball's youngest clubhouses.
