The Padres sign Garrett Richards to a two-year contract despite his Tommy John surgery likely causing him to miss the 2019 season.
Jon Heyman reported an agreement has been reached. Jeff Passan reported the two-year deal is worth about $15 million in guaranteed money with a maximum value of about $18 million.
So the Padres expect Richards to give him about two WAR in 2019. Given that he produced two WAR in 104 innings over 2017-2018, it’s seems like a good bet for San Diego. It also might mean the team is looking to win that year, and are hoping for much more than that from Richards.
