The San Diego Padres have bolstered their bullpen by signing right-handed pitcher Ty Adcock to a one-year contract. The deal, announced on Thursday, brings Adcock to San Diego through the 2026 season.
Adcock, who previously played for the New York Mets in 2024 and 2025, will look to make an immediate impact with the Padres. During his time with the Mets, Adcock appeared in three MLB games in 2025. He spent a significant portion of the season with Triple-A Syracuse, where he recorded a 4.66 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 14 walks over 36.2 innings.
A key factor in Adcock's move to the Padres is his lack of remaining minor-league options and his previous outright assignment. This suggests that the Padres are likely to include him in their Opening Day bullpen plans. His experience and right-handed pitching style make him a valuable asset to the team's relief corps.

The Padres organization expressed their excitement about the signing on social media, stating, "Welcome to San Diego, Ty! We have signed right-handed pitcher Ty Adcock to a one-year contract through the 2026 season.".

Adcock's path to the Padres has been marked by periods of movement between the Mets' major league roster and their Triple-A affiliate. Throughout 2025, he was frequently summoned from and sent back to Syracuse, highlighting his versatility and potential to contribute at the highest level.
