It looks like each offseason in San Diego ends in 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 a success to their rotation, there’s so much for the entrance workplace to deal with.
The offseason kicks off with possibility and qualifying supply choices. There’s not a lot intrigue with San Diego’s pair of possibility calls. Wandy Peralta will forego his likelihood to decide out of the remaining $13.15MM on his free agent deal. Ha-Seong Kim will gather a $2MM buyout on his mutual possibility and check the market.
San Diego in all probability will not problem a QO to any of their free brokers. The midseason commerce renders Tanner Scott ineligible, not that the Friars had been prone to supply a $21.05MM dedication to a reliever anyhow. Kim as soon as appeared like a straightforward 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 12 months. If the Padres count on Profar to repeat this 12 months’s manufacturing, he’d be well worth the QO value. 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.
