Four Padres among MLB’s top free agents

R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports recently put together behemoth list to showcase the top-60 free agents in the MLB this offseason, all of which officially became FAs on the first of the month.

Among the many players listed are four former Padres: reliever Trevor Rosenthal, outfielder Jurickson Profar, first baseman Mitch Moreland, and reliever Kirby Yates.

Rosenthal and Moreland were both qcquired at this year’s trade deadline from Kansas City and Boston, respectively. Rosenthal helped fill the void left by Yates who had season-ending elbow surgery after appearing in just six games in 2020.
