The San Diego Padres have highlighted four prospects who could contribute in 2027. Left-handed reliever Jagger Haynes, despite a challenging Triple-A debut, has shown promise for future call-ups.

Lefty Luis Gutierrez, coming off injury, may have an opportunity later in 2027 if he can regain form. Outfielder Braedon Karpathios, despite struggling in Triple-A, aims to showcase his power next season after a strong Double-A performance.
