San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres wish they were still playing baseball as the World Series gets underway this weekend. However, they're already looking ahead to the offseason and what will hopefully be another long 2025 season.

Among the many goals this offseason for San Diego is finalizing an extension with All-Star rookie Jackson Merrill. Additionally, the team will look to re-sign impending free agent Jurickson Profar.

While there's a lot to be excited about, a veteran Padres star will miss the beginning of the 2025 season due to injury, and could be out until July.
