Padres non-tendered RHP Sean Reynolds and LHP Omar Cruz.

Reynolds didn’t do much to establish himself last season, posting a 5.33 ERA in 27 innings, and that he’s now out of options makes him less useful as relief depth. Cruz would probably be a nice swingman if he had better command, but it just doesn’t seem to be coming.

Padres selected the contract of RHP Henry Baez, RHP Ryan Bergert and LHP Omar Cruz from Triple-A El Paso.

The trio are now shielded from selection in next month’s Rule 5 Draft. Baez is the most notable member of this group as he checks in as MLB Pipeline’s seventh-ranked prospect in San Diego’s system. The 22-year-old righty finished last year with a respectable 2.99 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 109/40 K/BB ratio across 126 1/3 innings (26 starts) between High-A Fort Wayne and Double-A San Antonio.
