The Padres need rotation help, but Adrian Morejon’s ability to cover multiple innings makes his projected $14 million annual salary worth considering.
Writer Tremayne Person argues that re-signing reliever Adrian Morejon should be an offseason priority for the San Diego Padres.

Morejon recorded 107 strikeouts with a 2.83 ERA across 86 innings and 76 appearances this past season. Analyst Jim Bowden projects Morejon could secure a three-year, $42 million contract, which the writer believes San Diego should strongly consider paying despite their starting rotation needs.
