The San Diego Padres are yet to make a major league signing this offseason, but two former Friars recently found new homes in the American League.

Additionally, while the Padres look to shed payroll this offseason, they have a few internal options to fill their need for another starting pitcher.

Finally, the Padres seem to be nearing a decision on who will be the team's shortstop in 2025, whether it be Xander Bogaerts, Jackson Merrill, or somebody else. At the very least, they plan to make a decision well before they did last year, when Bogaerts found out during spring training he wouldn't be the team's shortstop.
