Walker Buehler has signed with the San Diego Padres after the right-hander spent the first eight seasons of his major league career with their archrivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Buehler was in the Padres' clubhouse Tuesday morning after agreeing to a minor league deal with an invitation to big league camp.

"Yeah, it feels a little weird," Buehler told reporters in Arizona after pulling on a brown and gold uniform. "I imagine five years ago it would have felt a lot more weird, but this is a crazy game and this is a great opportunity for me."
