Jurickson Profar exercising 2022 player option, four Padres officially become free agents

Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 World Series! It’s a win for Padres fans, as we didn’t have to watch the Giants or Dodgers win it all.

Today was the first day of the offseason, so there was some news regarding this year’s Padres free agent class. Four of the 160 players who officially became free agents today ended the season as Padres players in 2021: Tommy Pham, Daniel Hudson, Vince Velasquez, and Ross Detwiler. Pham seems like he has the best chance of returning among these four, as he said during the season he’s open to accepting a one-year deal to improve his market for a longer deal after 2022.
