The San Diego Padres are projected to sign Freddy Peralta from the Tampa Bay Rays to a multi-year deal, according to a prediction by Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley. While the Padres have secured a spot in the 2026 postseason, they need to address their starting rotation this offseason. Peralta, who has a 4.56 ERA, has rebounded with a 3.60 ERA in 50 innings since joining the Rays. The Padres may look to replicate their recent deal with Michael King, enabling them to restructure their pitching staff amid several impending free agents.
