Lucas Giolito Signs One-Year Deal with Padres

Right-hander Lucas Giolito has signed a one-year contract with the San Diego Padres, a move valued at $3 million intended to bolster the rotation following the loss of Nick Pivetta. Giolito, who previously declined a $19M option with the Red Sox, posted a 3.41 ERA over 145 innings last season. The deal includes a mutual option for 2027 and concludes his free agency period as he joins the Padres' pitching staff.
