The San Diego Padres have yet to make a major league addition this offseason as they face cash flow issues. While talent remains on the current roster, general manager A.J. Preller is reportedly exploring trades involving key players to adjust to the evolving MLB landscape and remain competitive.

The San Diego Padres may face their first arbitration hearing since 2014 with starting pitcher Michael King. After failing to reach a one-year contract agreement by the deadline, King's 2025 salary will be decided in arbitration unless a deal is made beforehand.
