Padres Sign Jeremy Guthrie To Minor-League Deal

By charliewilmoth | April 2, 2016 at 8:05am CDT

SATURDAY: The deal is complete, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune tweets.

FRIDAY: The Padres have agreed to terms with righty Jeremy Guthrie on a minor-league deal, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi of FOX Sports report (via Twitter). The Rangers released Guthrie earlier this week after he exercised an opt-out clause in his contract with them. Guthrie is a client of Excel Sports Management.

Guthrie, who will be 37 next week, had a poor season for the Royals in 2015 (insofar as anyone on a World Series-winning team could have a poor season). He pitched 148 1/3 innings and posted a 5.95 ERA, 5.1 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9. He did not pitch in the postseason with the Royals, who paid him a $3.2MM buyout after the season ended rather than exercising their $10MM option on him. For his career, Guthrie has a 4.37 ERA, 5.3 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 12 seasons with the Indians, Orioles and Rockies in addition to the Royals. The Padres’ plans for him are unclear, but the organization seems like a good fit, given the team’s unsettled rotation beyond Tyson Ross, James Shields and Andrew Cashner.

    Much rather see what Rea and Erlin can do in a lost year for us than see a washed up 37 year old starter at the back of the rotation.

      Does he have an opt out? I imagine this was just a depth signing. I think as long as Rea and Erlin are healthy and productive those rotation spots are theirs to lose.

        Have they announced if Pomeranz is going to be in the bullpen yet or not? I watched that game last night and Erlin got cuffed around pretty good by the El Paso AAA squad, it didn’t look to convincing for a guy fighting for the last rotation spot.

          Pomeranz and Rea have also gotten cuffed around at least once each in Spring Training. It was bound to happen eventually.
          Erlin seems to really struggle pitching in the notoriously hitter friendly El Paso stadium.

          Pomeranz won 5 starter job.

    This has a lot more impact on the likes of Danny Moskos and Greg Reynolds than it does Colin Rea or Robbie Erlin.

    This could be in preparation for the Sandoval/Shields trade.

    it would be funny to see them get sandoval and lincecum and keep shields because you could end up with a lot of castoffs from the 2014 WS on the same team.

      Not funny to the season ticket holders.
