Adrian Morejon has plenty to consider in free agency, but the Padres’ $23.15 million qualifying offer gives him a compelling reason to stay.
The San Diego Padres have extended a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer to relief pitcher Adrian Morejon.

Additionally, the writer suggests that if Morejon accepts the offer, the Padres should consider having him prepare as a starting pitcher for the upcoming season to maximize his value.
