Padres Eye Peralta, Martinez, Boyd
Tap title to read story
The Padres have interest in free‑agent starters Freddy Peralta and Nick Martinez, according to ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.
Matthew Boyd is another name of interest, as per Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union‑Tribune, who notes that the Padres have “shown some level of interest in virtually every starting pitcher on the market.” The rotation push is understandable given that Michael King, Nick Pivetta, Walker Buehler, Casey Mize, Robbie Ray, and Griffin Canning are all free agents.
This leaves San Diego with a current starting staff of Randy Vasquez, JP Sears, Joe Musgrove (who may be used in the bullpen), newly‑signed swingman candidate Ryan Weiss, and maybe Yu Darvish, if the veteran still wants to continue his career.
