Rotoworld Player News

Ty Adcock

SD Relief Pitcher #52

Padres signed RHP Ty Adcock to a one-year contract.

A major league deal for Adcock is surprising, but the Padres had just 34 players on the 40-man and even a couple of them seem pretty expendable. Also, Adcock, who turns 29 in February, has been very successful in the Dominican Republic this winter, allowing two runs and posting a 15/0 K/BB in nine innings for Estrellas. Adcock has a 5.48 ERA in 23 major league innings since debuting with the Mariners in 2023. He allowed one run in three innings for the Mets last season and had a 4.65 ERA and a 35/14 K/BB in 36 2/3 innings for Triple-A Syracuse. He’s out of options, so he’ll likely have a bullpen spot on Opening Day.
Nick Schnell

SD Center Fielder #31

Padres signed OF Nick Schnell to a minor league contract.

Schnell was selected by the Rays with the 32nd overall pick in the 2018 draft, but he never earned himself much 40-man-roster consideration before leaving as a free agent prior to last season. Signed by the Nationals, he wound up with a .257/.321/.478 line and 23 homers between Double- and Triple-A, but he struck out 31% of the time in the process. Most likely, he’s going to top out as a Triple-A guy.
Sean Boyle

SD Starting Pitcher

Padres signed RHP Sean Boyle to a minor league contract.

Boyle, 29, had been in the Yankees system ever since being drafted in 2018. He spent most of last season in their Triple-A rotation, going 9-9 with a 4.61 ERA and a 120/51 K/BB in 134 2/3 innings. His lack of velocity has held him back, but with plus command and a nice slider, he could prove serviceable in middle relief if he ever gets the chance.
Carlos Rodriguez

SD Center Fielder #70

Padres signed OF Carlos Rodríguez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Rodriguez was outrighted off Atlanta’s roster after the 2025 season. The 23-year-old forged just a .650 OPS in his time with Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett, and doesn’t appear to be more than organizational depth.
Sean Reynolds

FA Relief Pitcher #25

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.
Luis Campusano

SD Catcher #12

Padres agreed to terms with C Luis Campusano on a one-year contract.

He’ll get $900,000, according to The Athletic’s Dennis Lin. It sure seems to us like Campusano is a player who would have benefitted from accepting the non-tender and taking his chances elsewhere. After all, the Padres gave him all of 21 major league plate appearances last season and wouldn’t put him behind the plate even once. Campusano’s glove is a major issue, but he did hit .336/.441/.595 in 105 games for Triple-A El Paso last season. At least he’s out of options now, so if the Padres decide against carrying him, he’ll go on waivers and find out if someone else wants him.
Garrett Hawkins

SD Relief Pitcher

Padres selected the contracts of RHP Garrett Hawkins and RHP Miguel Mendez from Triple-A El Paso.

San Diego clearly didn’t want to risk losing either Hawkins or Mendez in next month’s Rule 5 Draft so they opted to add both to their 40-man roster. Hawkins is the closest to the big leagues after looking extremely sharp with a 1.50 ERA across 60 innings between High-A Fort Wayne and Double-A San Antonio last season.
Kyle Hart

SD Starting Pitcher #68

According to FanSided’s Robert Murray, Kyle Hart is guaranteed just $1 million under the terms of his new deal with the Padres.

$200,000 is in the form of a buyout of a $2.5 million club option for 2027, so he’ll make barely more than the MLB minimum in 2026. However, the option can increase to $4.5 million and the buyout to $500,000 based on appearances next season. Some of those escalators are based on games started, so it sounds like Hart will get a chance to compete for a rotation spot in spring training. That said, it’s probably best if he returns to the pen.
Kyle Hart

SD Starting Pitcher #68

Padres agreed to terms with LHP Kyle Hart to a one-year contract with a club option for 2027.

Hart had a $5 million option for 2026 declined by the Padres last month, so the new deal is presumably worth less than that. The left-hander struggled early on in his first year back from pitching in the KBO and was optioned to Triple-A in May. However, the Padres moved him to the bullpen in the middle of the season and changed his pitch mix and he proved much better in that role. He is off the fantasy radar, but could be a solid real-life reliever for the Padres.
Pablo Reyes

SD Shortstop #19

Padres signed INF Pablo Reyes to a minor league contract.

Reyes got into 24 contests this past season for the Yankees before being released in late August. The 32-year-old journeyman infielder has bounced for nearly a decade at this juncture, appearing in 257 games between the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Brewers and Pirates. He’ll fortify San Diego’s infield depth heading into spring training.
