Padres right-hander Michael King made a surprise announcement when he opted out of the final two years of his contract. He should now be on the Braves' radar.
Writer Steven Teal argues that right-handed pitcher Michael King should be the Atlanta Braves' top free-agent target this offseason. King opted out of the remaining two years of his three-year, $75 million contract with the San Diego Padres to seek a longer deal after a stellar 2026 season.
Teal suggests the Braves consider offering King a four-year, $120 million contract with a fifth-year player option. However, the writer notes that the Padres hold an exclusive negotiation window until November 2, and King has expressed interest in returning to San Diego.
