The San Diego Padres are reportedly re-signing free agent reliever Craig Stammen to a two-year, $9 million contract.

The agreement includes a $4 million club option for a third season in 2022, with a $1 million buyout, plus annual performance incentives, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

The 35-year-old right-hander was 8-7 with four saves and a 3.29 ERA in 76 appearances in 2019, striking out 73 batters and walking just 15 in 82 innings.

In three seasons in the San Diego bullpen, Stammen is 18-13 with a 3.06 ERA and 235 strikeouts in 241 1/3 innings (209 appearances).

Stammen played his first seven seasons with the Washington Nationals (2009-15) and spent the 2016 campaign in the Cleveland Indians’ minor league system.

He owns a 44-37 career record with a 3.63 ERA and 605 strikeouts in 438 games (38 starts).
