The Padres have agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent lefthander Randy Wolf.
Because Wolf is coming off minor shoulder surgery, the deal is heavily incentive-based, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
Despite the injury, Wolf was one of the most hotly pursued free agents on the market this offseason.
Astros GM Ed Wade flew to California to meet with him personally. And his former team, the Phillies, showered him with calls from virtually every one of their top decision makers. But he opted to stay in the NL West, in a more favorable pitcher's park.
If healthy, he would essentially be taking David Wells' spot in the Padres' rotation.
The deal was first reported by Foxsports.com.
