Pomeranz and the Padres agreed to a one-year, $1.35 million contract to avoid arbitration, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
Pomeranz has been solid but not spectacular in a swingman role the last two seasons, as he owns a 3.08 ERA and a 146:57 K:BB in 73 games (19 starts) since 2014 for Oakland. He was far better as a reliever (2.61 ERA, 3.3 K/BB) than a starter (4.63 ERA, 2.1 K/BB) in 2015, and he is best suited to a bullpen role in San Diego.
