The Move
San Diego just inked right-hander Ryan Weiss to a one-year MLB pact with a club option for 2028—call it a three-year look with an escape hatch after Year 1.

The Skinny
• 2026 Stats: Weiss threw for Houston last season, numbers not flashy but enough to draw league-wide interest.
• KBO Comeback: He actually pitched in Korea in 2025, so the Padres beat out a return ticket overseas.
• Rotation Depth: With the option, SD adds a low-risk arm who can slide into the back end or bullpen if needed.

Big Mike’s Take
Weiss isn’t a front-line starter, but the Padres just bought themselves a cheap lottery ticket. If he rediscovers the KBO form that made him a 10-game winner, they’ll have a steal. If not, they’re only on the hook for one guaranteed season. Smart, quiet move that won’t move the needle today but could pay dividends in two years.
