Padres rookie reliever Robert Suarez, left fielder Jurickson Profar hit free agency after taking advantage of opt-out clause in contracts
Both Robert Suarez and Jurickson Profar have opted out of their contracts, according to the Major League Baseball Players’ Association.
That leaves Nick Martinez still mulling his opt-out. The Padres have also yet to formally announce that they are taking the buyout on the last year of Wil Myers’ deal.Myers will be owed a $1 million buyout when his $20 million team option for 2023 is declined.Both Suarez and Profar had $1 million buyouts.
Suarez would have been due $5 million in 2023, a salary he’ll easily surpass on the open market after striking out 61 batters in 47 2/3 innings in the regular season and capping his rookie season with nine strikeouts in nine innings in the postseason. Profar held a $7.5 million player option for 2023. He hit .243/.331/.391 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs over a career-high 152 games while playing exclusively in left field for the first time in his career.
