SAN DIEGO -- Right-hander Brett Tomko rejoined the San Diego
Padres on Friday, six days after he was placed on unconditional
waivers by the Kansas City Royals.
Tomko said he spoke with several teams and chose the Padres
because he lives in suburban Poway.
"It came down to here and -- people will think I'm crazy -- the
Yankees," Tomko said before the Padres played the Seattle Mariners.
"It definitely was enticing, but like I told them, it's nice to be
home. I mean, to be able to pitch at home is always a great thing."
The Padres are in last place in the NL West. This is Tomko's
third stint with the Padres. He pitched for San Diego in 2002 and
rejoined them for the stretch drive last year.
