Padres' Wilmer Font: Gets NRI from Padres

Font signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Thursday, Steve Adams of MLBTradeRumors.com reports.

Font has been given an invitation to major-league spring training. The 32-year-old is coming off a successful two-year stint in Korea, having posted a 2.69 ERA over 28 starts for the SSG Landers in 2022. Font figures to be used as a starter initially in camp but also has plenty of past major-league relief experience.
