Gaudin, Padres Agree To Minor League Deal

Corey Brock of MLB.com reports that the Padres have signed right-hander Chad Gaudin to a minor league deal.  

He'll head to San Diego on Sunday for the official signing and a bullpen session.  The Padres are only required to pay $400K of the $2MM he's owed for 2009, with the Cubs picking up the rest of the tab.  Gaudin went 2-1 with a 10.26 ERA this spring, but he might just find a spot in the Friars' bullpen once he works through whatever was plaguing him during camp.
