Jason Adam Signs One-Year Deal, Quad Injury Recovery Progressing

Jason Adam signed a one-year contract with the Padres on Thursday to avoid arbitration. He earned his first All-Star selection in 2025, finishing with a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 30 holds, and a 70:25 K:BB across 65.1 innings. His 2025 season ended in September due to a ruptured left quadriceps tendon, requiring 6-9 months recovery. While expected to start 2026 on the injured list, he's projected to throw off a mound in spring training and may avoid a lengthy IL stint.
