According to multiple media reports, the Padres have signed veteran left-handed starter Marco Gonzales to a minor league deal. The southpaw missed all of the 2025 season due to flexor tendon surgery. Gonzales has a career ERA of 4.16, and pitched 183 innings with a 4.13 ERA in his last full season with the Mariners in 2022. Gonzales should provide rotational depth for the club in 2026.
