Wandy Peralta opts into $4.5 million option with Padres for 2027

Summary

Wandy Peralta has opted into the final year of his contract with the San Diego Padres worth approximately $4.5 million for the 2027 season. The decision allows the 35-year-old left-hander to stay with the team, following a season where he made 65 appearances, recording a 3.61 ERA. Peralta's decision is seen as a strategic move, as he likely would not command a higher salary on the open market at this stage of his career. This follows a solid 2025 season where he posted a 3.14 ERA over 71 games. The Padres are expected to benefit from his continued presence in the bullpen as they aim for a postseason push in 2027.
