The San Diego Padres will obviously be making moves to improve the roster this season, as last year’s team simply wasn’t good enough. Jurickson Profar, Craig Stammen, and Pierce Johnson could’ve been free agents this year but they will be returning, as Profar exercised his player option and Stammen and Johnson were brought back on one-year deals by the Padres.
As for San Diego’s free agents, some have a chance of returning but most won’t. Let’s predict who’s coming back and who isn’t. The players named are based on Spotrac’s list, as of November 6.
