Padres signed RHP Jeff Suppan to a minor league contract.

He'll also get a spring training invite. Suppan didn't throw a pitch in the majors last season, but had a 4.78 ERA and 94/51 K/BB ratio over 165 2/3 innings with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate. The 37-year-old owns a 4.69 ERA over 16 seasons in the majors. He'll serve as insurance for the starting rotation.
