LAS VEGAS -- The San Diego Padres are in agreement with righty Ryan Weiss on a 1-year, $1.85 million contract with a team option for 2028, sources tell ESPN.

Weiss, 29, pitched last year for the Houston Astros but ended the year at Triple-A where he finished strong. Houston declined an option on his contract for 2027, making him a free agent.

Weiss was 0-3 with a 7.62 ERA before being sent down. But over his last 16.2 innings for Triple-A Sugar Land, he gave up just two runs including none in his final two starts.

Weiss returned to MLB last year after a stint with Hanwha in the KBO. He compiled a 2.87 ERA for them in 2025. Hanwha wanted him back next year, as did a half dozen MLB teams, before he inked his deal with San Diego.

The Padres have spots to fill in the front and back of their rotation. Weiss will be given a chance to earn one after his rough start to his 2026 season in Houston.

The deal includes performance bonuses while the option for 2028 is worth a guaranteed $4 million with an opportunity to reach $5.5 million.
