LAS VEGAS (AP) — Right-hander Ryan Weiss became the first of the 183 major league free agents with an announced agreement, a one-year contract with the San Diego Padres.
San Diego said Tuesday the deal includes a team option for 2028.
The 29-year-old Weiss made his major league debut on March 27 and went 0-3 with a 7.62 ERA in two starts and seven relief appearances for the Houston Astros last season. He was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on May 5, assigned outright to the Space Cowboys on June 17 and became a major league free agent after the World Series.
Weiss was 5-5 with a 5.42 ERA in 13 starts and nine relief appearances at Triple-A but had a 1.37 ERA over his last four games and 19 2/3 innings.
He signed a $2.6 million, one-year contract with the Astros last Dec. 9 after spending part of 2024 and all of 2025 with the Hanwha Eagles in South Korea.
