Sizing up the Padres’ 40-man roster heading into the 2026 season: A first-time All-Star in 2025, Jason Adam was in the midst of his best season yet when a ruptured quad tendon ended his season in S…
San Diego Padres’ Jason Adam looks on during the eighth inning against the Miami Marlins at Petco Park on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 in San Diego, CA. 8-4, 1.93 ERA, 0 saves, 29 holds, 70 strikeouts, 25 walks, 1.
15 WHIP, .210 opponent average, 65⅓ innings 92 — Adam’s holds since the start of the 2022 season, fourth most in the majors over that span behind LHP Tyler Rogers and RHPs Bryan Abreu and Griffin Jax .— for two plus years of control of Adam, who had been in the organization previously on a minor league deal. Four surgeries, four organizations and seven years later, Adam returned to buoy the bullpen heading into the 2024 postseason. He lowered his ERA from 2.49 to 1.01 after the trade deadline and in 2025 was finally recognized as one of the game’s top relievers as he joinedon the All-Star team. No other team in MLB history had sent three relievers to the All-Star Game and Adam, even as a set-up man, was selected before bow-outs opened the door for his bullpen mates. Adam’s walk rate ticked up from 8.2% to 9.3% in his first full year in San Diego, his inherited run scoring rate jumped from 30% after the 2024 trade deadline to 46% and his whiff rate dropped from 38.4% to 33.3%, but Adam was as hard to hit as anyone as his expected weighted on base on contact of .303 ranked in the top 1 percentile of pitchers. That made him as good a bet as any to hand a lead off in later innings as his 29 holds were tied for the second most in the majors when he ruptured a quad tendon trying to field his position on Sept. 1. The injury ended his season a full month before the Padres were ready to flex their best asset — a bullpen of Suarez, the newly acquired Mason Miller, Morejón,. When he’s ready, he’ll fold right into the top set-up spot and will likely get save opportunities on days that Miller is unavailable to pitch.Jason Adam #40 of the San Diego Padres is carted off the field after injuring his knee in the seventh inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Petco Park on Sept. 1, 2025 in San Diego, California.
