Writer Tremayne Person argues that the San Diego Padres should avoid re-signing free agent pitcher Casey Mize this offseason. Bleacher Report recently projected the San Francisco Giants as the top free agency landing spot for Mize on a potential one-year, $10 million or two-year, $20 million deal.

After being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline, Mize struggled with a 7.46 ERA in 10 starts for San Diego. Person emphasizes that with health uncertainties surrounding rotation members like Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish, and Nick Pivetta, the Padres need dependable, healthy starting pitching rather than risking another reunion with Mize.
