The Padres aim to secure an additional starting pitcher and a complementary bat before Opening Day, as confirmed by President A.J. Preller. With tight payroll constraints, they may explore reclamation candidates or pursue trades, potentially with the Nationals for affordable options like Mitchell Parker or Jake Irvin. The rotation currently features Nick Pivetta, Michael King, and Joe Musgrove, with Randy Vásquez likely to round out the group if no new starter is acquired. Preller is also in the final year of his contract, focusing on team improvements while an extension remains undecided.
