A person with knowledge of the deal says free-agent reliever Wandy Peralta and the San Diego Padres have agreed to a $16.5 million, four-year contract. The person spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical exam and hadn’t been finalized. The contract contains opt-outs after each of the first three seasons. The 32-year-old left-hander spent the last three seasons with the New York Yankees. He went 4-2 with four saves and a 2.83 ERA in 63 appearances in 2023. He had 51 strikeouts and 30 walks in 54 innings.
