Padres have busy two weeks ahead of them
With the end of the 2025 season, which was official when Game 7 of the World Series ended, the busy offseason begins.

Michael King opts out, MLBPA announces free agents
As expected, San Diego Padres starter Michael King exercised his option to opt-out of his deal with the team, making him a free agent.
