A confirmed signing, with a club option
The San Diego Padres have signed right-handed pitcher Ryan Weiss to a one-year contract with a club option for 2028. The club’s announcement says president of baseball operations and general manager A.J. Preller announced the move on Tuesday, November 10.
The option gives San Diego a decision on an additional season. The announcement does not describe two guaranteed years or disclose the contract’s financial terms.
His recent pitching record
Weiss, 29, divided his 2026 season between the Houston Astros and Triple-A Sugar Land. In the majors, he made nine appearances, including two starts, and recorded a 7.62 ERA over 26 innings.
The Padres also point to his September finish in Triple-A: a 1.37 ERA across 19 and two-thirds innings, with 24 strikeouts and five walks. Those minor-league figures are separate from his major-league record.
What the announcement settles
The move confirms Weiss’ new club and the contract structure. It does not establish his eventual role in San Diego’s rotation or bullpen, and the 2028 option has not been exercised by this signing.
