Corey Brock of MLB.com reports that the Padres will sign right-hander Jeff Suppan to a minor league contract.
Suppan, 37, had a 4.78 ERA and 94/51 K/BB ratio over 165 2/3 innings with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate last season. He had a 5.06 ERA between Brewers and Cardinals in 2010 and is likely to serve as organizational depth for San Diego.
