Padres To Sign Edwin Jackson

By Jeff Todd | June 16, 2016 at 4:55pm CDT

The Padres have agreed to a deal with righty Edwin Jackson, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). It’s a minor league pact, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune tweets.

The 32-year-old was released recently by the Marlins, who had signed him over the winter to work from the bullpen and provide rotation depth. Jackson ultimately pitched to a 5.91 ERA over 10 2/3 frames, striking out seven and issuing six walks.

The Cubs are still paying Jackson under his four-year, $52MM free agent contract. That’s offset, but not by much, to account for Jackson’s earnings with other organizations. Miami is obligated for a league-minimum hit after inking Jackson to a major league deal. San Diego will also pay Jackson at the lowest possible rate for whatever time he spends in the majors.

      Id assume so. Id assume its the league minimum theyd have to pay him. But, doesn’t bode well for cashner and ross it seems if we are picking up jackson. Perdomo friedrich jackson johnson- gotta be the worst rotation in the league at the moment. Least perdomo is getting experience as a starter and they can work on his mechanics next year in the minors. And least friedrich could be the lefty specialist next year as a swing option for the rotation- career wise hes been more effective against lefties as expected.

        at this point, I’d have to assume that the Pads are looking at him as a reliever rather than a starter. Or, at least, I’d hope so.

        Yeah, hopefully Jackson only relieves at AAA and in SD. As for next year, I’d also like to see Perdomo bounce back and would keep Friedrich at SP as long as possible. Friedrich appears have a much better approach in his small sample of 2016 starts than he ever did in COL.

        Well, Ross isn’t pitching again this season so I doubt he’s being traded – he’s been “a week away” from a bullpen session for about two months now. Cashner is probably not being traded, since he’s also injured and has been bad for the last season and a half. I’m assuming this move is, seriously, just because the Padres don’t have enough starting pitchers.

        I remember a couple years ago when San Diego had so little starting pitching depth they were starting guys like Jeff Suppan and Kip Wells and Micah Owings and Jason Marquis and Dustin Mosely and Ross Ohlendorf,,,man. That was terrible.

          I remember those days, when guys like Clayton Richard and Edinson Volquez were being used as the team’s “frontline starters.” It seems they are nearing that bottom-of-the-barrel status once again.

          Ironically Volquez is at the top of the Royals rotation and Richard is a bullpen piece for the Cubs

          Yeah its kind of funny actually, since Volquez even has a World Series ring now. Maybe that time he spent in Pittsburg helped him out.

      Yes. Jackson is in I think the last year of his four year contract, but if he is called up to the majors, the Padres pay him league minimum for the time he is up. Although I doubt Jackson will be in the majors again this season unless he shows more consistency in his outings and better command.

      On the subject of reclamation projects, any chance that SD will try Maurer as a Spring Training SP next year if he survives the season or did his 2016 ST performance permanently end that experiment?

        I think Maurer’s 2016 regular season performance ended that. He’s been awful this season.

      They’re probably hoping for the former, but expecting the latter.

      In the case of this deal, because Jeremy Guthrie’s opt-out/retirement left a hole in El Paso and they need someone to throw some innings for a few months.

    The more teams that release him, the less the Cubs have to pay him. Keep going EJax!
