Free Brokers
It looks as if each offseason in San Diego leads to a big shakeup. This winter will in all probability be no exception, even when the Padres aren’t going to make a single transfer that’s as impactful as final winter’s Juan Soto/Michael King blockbuster. Between a hefty arbitration class, quite a few free brokers who performed key roles in 2024, and a late-season damage that dealt successful to their rotation, there’s so much for the entrance workplace to handle.
The offseason kicks off with choice and qualifying supply selections. There’s not a lot intrigue with San Diego’s pair of choice calls. Wandy Peralta will forego his probability to choose out of the remaining $13.15MM on his free agent deal. Ha-Seong Kim will acquire a $2MM buyout on his mutual choice and take a look at the market.
San Diego in all probability will not subject a QO to any of their free brokers. The midseason commerce renders Tanner Scott ineligible, not that the Friars have been prone to supply a $21.05MM dedication to a reliever anyhow. Kim as soon as appeared like a simple name for the QO, however his late-season labrum surgical procedure makes that too dangerous. The one different candidate could be Jurickson Profar, who’ll be one of many harder free brokers to worth after a profession yr. If the Padres anticipate Profar to repeat this yr’s manufacturing, he’d be definitely worth the QO worth. Profar’s profession has been wildly inconsistent, although, and there is in all probability not sufficient payroll house to supply the first-time All-Star greater than $21MM whereas addressing a number of holes on the roster.
