Padres sign pitcher Lucas Giolito to one-year deal
- On Wednesday, the San Diego Padres signed veteran right-hander Lucas Giolito to a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2027, bolstering their injury-plagued rotation with the top available free agent starter.
- Injuries to Opening Day starter Nick Pivetta, Joe Musgrove, and Yu Darvish left the Padres scrambling for rotation depth after Pivetta went on the injured list last week with an elbow flexor strain.
- A Southern California native, the 31-year-old Giolito went 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA over 26 starts for the Boston Red Sox in 2025 after missing all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery.
- San Diego transferred relief pitcher Bryan Hoeing to the 60-day injured list to clear a 40-man roster spot, while Giolito will report to Class A Lake Elsinore to build endurance before joining the team mid-May.
- Despite rotation upheaval, the Padres maintain a 16-7 record, tying the Los Angeles Dodgers for baseball's best, as the family of late owner Peter Seidler nears a sale of the franchise.
