Padres Finalizing Deal With Seth Lugo
According to a tweet from The New York Post's Jon Heyman on Monday morning, the San Diego Padres are reportedly finalizing a deal with free-agent pitcher Seth Lugo. The 33-year-old right-hander pitched to a 3.60 ERA and a 3.76 FIP in 62 appearances for the New York Mets last season. Pitching exclusively as a relief pitcher, the veteran logged 65 innings during the 2022 campaign. In those 65 innings, he registered 69 strikeouts to go along with 18 walks, three saves and 16 holds. According to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, Lugo's deal is for two years and $15 million and includes a second-year player option. He'll have a chance to start for the Friars, which is what he was looking for on the open market. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals were also interested in him.
