The Mets and Yankees showed interest, but right-hander Michael King is re-signing with the San Diego Padres on a three-year, $75 million deal with opt-outs after the first two seasons. King, who turns 31 in March, faced injuries in 2025 but posted a 3.44 ERA in 15 starts, a decline from his impressive 2024 season with a 2.95 ERA. He previously pitched for the Yankees, where he had a 3.38 ERA over 247.2 innings in 115 appearances. San Diego hopes he can regain his previous form, noted for generating soft contact.
