Padres consider qualifying offer for reliever Adrian Morejon this offseason

The San Diego Padres are reportedly looking to extend a qualifying offer to reliever Adrian Morejon, who has emerged as the top left-handed option in this year's free-agent market. Morejon completed the 2025 season with a 2.83 ERA over 86.0 innings and posted 107 strikeouts, showcasing his value. If he accepts the offer, he would see a significant salary increase from his $3.9 million last season. However, it's uncertain whether he will choose to accept a one-year deal or seek a multi-year contract elsewhere. The Padres aim to retain Morejon for the upcoming season as they assess their bullpen situation.
