The Padres and free agent Mark Melancon have agreed to a deal pending a physical, according to The Athletic's Dennis Lin.
Melancon, 35, spent the last two seasons with the Braves after being traded from the Giants in 2019. The Padres will be Melancon's eighth team during his 12-year MLB career.
A three-time All-Star, Melancon recorded 11 saves in 23 games with Atlanta during the shortened 2020 season. The Braves finished first in the NL East with a 35-25 record but fell to the Dodgers in the seven-game National League Championship Series.
Melancon is the latest reported addition for the Padres in their busy offseason.
