The San Diego Padres have reportedly reached a four-year contract with lefty reliever Wandy Peralta, pending a physical, as they continue to strengthen their bullpen.

Left-handed pitcher Wandy Peralta has agreed to a four-year, $16.5 million contract with the San Diego Padres, pending a physical. The deal includes three player opt-outs and fills a need for a lefty in the Padres' bullpen following the departure of former closer Josh Hader. Peralta, who found success with the New York Yankees, brings a strong changeup and has revamped his pitching repertoire over the past few years, earning him a multiyear deal with the Padres.
The San Diego Padres have signed free agent left-hander Wandy Peralta to a four-year, $16.5 million deal with three opt-out clauses, pending a physical. Peralta, known for his steady performance in the Yankees' bullpen, joins a revamped Padres bullpen that has lost closer Josh Hader but added several interesting arms. The contract's frequent opt-out provisions are a successful tactic for the Padres in luring free agents, but also contribute to the team's perennial roster churn and potential trade value implications. The uncommon structure of the contract also helps lower the luxury tax hit for the Padres, providing additional financial flexibility as they look to round out their roster.
Wandy Peralta held onto the lead by getting Rafael Devers, who had two homers already in the series, on a weak ground ball to second base to end the top half of the seventh inning. The Yankees went on to knock off the Red Sox, 3-1. Peralta has given up just one hit all year to a left-handed hitter in 34 at-bats.
