Edwin Jackson has found a new home yet again, as the San Diego Padres have reportedly agreed to terms with the well-traveled right-hander, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

It's a minor-league deal for the 32-year-old, reports Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune. The Padres will only pay him a pro-rated salary for days that he's with the team, per Rosenthal, as the Chicago Cubs are still paying his salary after releasing him in the midst of a four-year, $52-million contract last July.

Jackson was released by the Miami Marlins on June 4 after appearing in just eight games with the club and posting a 5.91 ERA. He owns a career 4.59 ERA and 1,274 strikeouts across 14 big-league seasons with 10 teams.
