Lamet signed a one-year, $4.775 million contract with the Padres on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Lamet will more than triple his salary despite the fact that he's coming off an injury-filled season where he was less than dominant. In nine starts and 13 relief appearances, he posted a mediocre 4.40 ERA, though his 27.3 percent strikeout rate was at least still strong.
