Despite facing internal conflict and strong competition from rivals, the San Diego Padres have yet to make any significant moves in free agency, relying on their existing core and potential in-season acquisitions.
Tyler Wade was a key player on the Padres ' 2024 team, which won 93 games and made the playoffs. He appeared in 90 games, contributed timely hits, and played six different positions. Wade is known for his energy, work ethic, and experience from eight seasons in the majors. The Padres signed him to a one-year deal in November, with a club option for 2026.
\The Padres are one of six teams that haven't signed any major league free agents and one of two that haven't signed any free agents or made trades involving players with major league experience. The team is currently facing a family ownership dispute, and it might seem concerning that they are lagging behind rivals like the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, and Giants, who have made significant additions this winter. However, it's worth noting that the Padres often make their big moves later in the offseason. Last year, they had only signed relievers before spring training, when they made significant trades for players like Jurickson Profar, Dylan Cease, and Luis Arraez.
