San Diego Padres Arbitration Projections and Tender Decisions

Zach Cioffi of Just Baseball analyzed the San Diego Padres' roster outlook, outlining salary projections and tender predictions for eight arbitration-eligible players. Cioffi projects closer Mason Miller to command the highest salary among the group at $7.8 million following a 38-save campaign, alongside projected tenders for Gavin Sheets at $6.3 million, Freddy Fermin at $2.6 million, and Luis Campusano at $1.6 million.

Cioffi also predicts tender contracts for relievers Jeremiah Estrada at $1.53 million and Bryan Hoeing at $820,000. Additionally, the writer expects the Padres to explore pre-tender arrangements to retain pitching depth with starters JP Sears and Jhony Brito rather than exposing them to standard non-tender departures.
