🚨 PADRES FREE AGENCY! Today, Andrew McFarland looks at Jake Bauers' reported four-year, $58 million agreement with the Boston Red Sox (per Jeff Passan of ESPN, reported and not official) and what it could mean for Padres free agent first baseman Ty France. France hit .295/.363/.502 with 21 home runs in 133 games in 2026 after signing a minor league deal in February, and the Padres did not extend him a qualifying offer. Padres Digest breaks down Bauers vs France in 2026, Baseball Savant's expected stats on France, the contract projections from MLB Trade Rumors, Just Baseball and Spotrac, and what a fair price for France could look like. ⚾ THE BAUERS DEAL Bauers reportedly agreed to 4 years and $58 million, or $14.5 million a year, after turning down a $23.15 million qualifying offer from the Brewers. Per MLB Trade Rumors, Boston gives up its 2nd and 5th highest draft picks to sign him. How much is Jake Bauers getting per year? What did the Red Sox give up? ⚾ FRANCE VS BAUERS IN 2026 France finished with 4.5 bWAR to Bauers' 3.3, per Baseball Reference via Stathead. Bauers has the edge in barrel rate and walk rate, while France has the edge in defense, with +8 outs above average to Bauers' -7, per Baseball Savant. Who had the better 2026 season? How good is Ty France at first base? ⚾ THE CONTACT BEHIND THE RESULTS France's .373 wOBA sat above his .327 xwOBA, and his .295 batting average sat above a .248 expected average, per Baseball Savant. What do expected stats say about Ty France? Could his 2026 numbers hold up? ⚾ WHAT IS A FAIR PRICE FOR TY FRANCE? These are projections, not offers: MLB Trade Rumors has France at 2 years and $32 million, Just Baseball has 2 to 3 years at $12 million to $17 million a year, and Spotrac's market value is about $16.4 million a year. Because the Padres did not extend France a qualifying offer, no draft pick is tied to him. How much should the Padres pay Ty France? Will the Padres re-sign him? 🔥 PADRES NEWS & RUMORS COVERED: Ty France free agent Ty France contract Ty France Padres Will the Padres re-sign Ty France Jake Bauers Red Sox Jake Bauers contract Jake Bauers 4 years $58 million Ty France vs Jake Bauers Ty France Gold Glove Ty France xwOBA Padres first base Padres free agency Padres offseason Padres news today San Diego Padres news 💬 PADRES FANS: What is the most the Padres should pay Ty France per year?

Baltimore's $23.15 million qualifying offer has a Nov. 17 deadline, per Jeff Passan. Is Rogers worth the price? ⚾ REASONABLE: TYLER MAHLE Mahle had a 3.99 ERA and a 3.95 expected ERA in 2026, Giants and Braves combined.

Today, Andrew McFarland looks back at Mason Miller's 2026 season after he was named the BBWAA's first ever National League Reliever of the Year, the Trevor Hoffman NL Reliever of the Year and a member of the All-MLB First Team on Nov. 11. The BBWAA vote was 30 of 30 first-place votes, with ballots cast before the playoffs.

Who votes on the All-MLB Team? ⚾ THE HOT START Miller opened 2026 with a 34.2 inning regular season scoreless streak dating to Aug. 6, 2025. It ended April 27 against the Cubs and ranks eighth among relievers since 1961, per MLB.com. Through April 29 he had a 1.17 ERA and 0.59 WHIP and was 10-for-10 in save chances. MLB.com wrote on April 30 that he still had a chance to become the 10th reliever to win a Cy Young. How long was Mason Miller's scoreless streak?

From March through July he had a 0.79 ERA and 0.79 WHIP. In August and September it was a 3.33 ERA and 1.11 WHIP (Padres Digest math from MLB Stats API game logs). His walk rate was 4.0% in late April and 9.6% for the full season (Baseball Savant). What changed for Mason Miller after July? ⚾ OCTOBER Miller earned the first postseason save of his career on Sept. 30 in the Wild Card series against the Cubs.

🚨 PADRES NEWS! Today, Andrew McFarland covers the San Diego Padres signing right-handed pitcher Ryan Weiss to a one-year major league contract with a club option for 2028, as announced by the Padres. Contract terms had not been reported at the time of this video. Padres Digest breaks down who Ryan Weiss is, what his numbers and the Stuff+ model say about him, what he needs to fix, and how he could fit into the Padres pitching plan alongside Kyle Hart. ⚾ WHO IS RYAN WEISS? Weiss is a 29-year-old right-hander out of Wright State who was a 4th round pick of the Diamondbacks in 2018. He has pitched in the Diamondbacks and Royals systems, independent ball, Taiwan and Korea. In 2025 he went 16-5 with a 2.87 ERA and 207 strikeouts in 178.2 innings for the KBO's Hanwha Eagles. Who is Ryan Weiss? Why do KBO fans call him Daejeon Jesus? Why did the Padres sign him? ⚾ THE GOOD TJStats' Stuff+ model, which grades pitches on a scale where 100 is average, has Weiss at 108 overall, with his sweeper at 113. Baseball Savant has his 4-seam fastball at 95.2 mph, about the RHP average of 95.3, and a 22.9% strikeout rate in 2026. What does Stuff+ measure? Is his stuff good enough to work in MLB? ⚾ THE BAD In 26 innings with the Astros in 2026, Weiss had a 7.62 ERA, a 15.3% walk rate and a 49.4% hard-hit rate (Baseball Savant). He then posted a 5.42 ERA in 76.1 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land, and Houston declined his 2027 option on Oct. 29, per ESPN's Jesse Rogers. What went wrong in Houston? Can the Padres fix his control? ⚾ HOW WEISS FITS WITH THE PADRES Jon Morosi wrote that the Padres have a lot of innings to cover in 2027 and that Weiss is the start of what is likely to be multiple pitching moves. Could Weiss be a starter, a long reliever or Triple-A depth? Is he the next Kyle Hart? 🔥 PADRES NEWS & RUMORS COVERED: Padres sign Ryan Weiss Ryan Weiss Padres Ryan Weiss stats Ryan Weiss Stuff+ Ryan Weiss KBO Daejeon Jesus Ryan Weiss Astros Padres pitching depth Padres rotation 2027 Padres starting pitching Kyle Hart Padres Padres free agent signings Padres news today San Diego Padres news Padres offseason 💬 PADRES FANS: What does Ryan Weiss become for the Padres: a starter, a long reliever, or Triple-A depth?

🚨 PADRES FREE AGENCY! Today, Andrew McFarland looks at the Padres and the free agent starting pitcher market. Jon Morosi reported on Nov 9 that the Padres are among the most active teams in the free agent starter market. No signing has been reported. The 2027 payroll figures in this video are Spotrac projections, and they include estimates for arbitration and pre-arbitration players. Padres Digest breaks down how much room A.J. Preller has with Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts and Fernando Tatis Jr. on the 2027 books, and what he can do about it. ⚾ THE STARTING PITCHING PICTURE Spotrac's 2027 roster lists four starters: Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish, JP Sears and Randy Vasquez. Sears and Vasquez are Spotrac estimates, not signed salaries. How thin is the rotation? What did Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY write about the Padres' pitching this offseason? ⚾ THE BIG THREE CONTRACTS Machado, Bogaerts and Tatis count $81.6 million against the 2027 tax payroll, about 38% of the projected total per Spotrac. From 2027 through 2034, the three are owed $721 million in cash, per Spotrac's year-by-year cash. What do the no-trade clauses in those contracts say? When does Tatis's cash salary go up? ⚾ THE 2027 PAYROLL AND TAX ROOM Spotrac projects the Padres' 2027 tax payroll at $215.7 million, 8th in MLB, which leaves $31.3 million under the $247 million tax line Spotrac lists. Tax payroll and cash payroll are different measures, and the video labels which one is which. How much room does the Padres' front office really have? ⚾ WHAT CAN PRELLER DO? Musgrove's deal ends after 2027 and Darvish's after 2028, while the biggest hitter contracts run through 2033 and 2034. What are the Padres' options for adding a starter, and how does the timing of these deals matter? 🔥 PADRES NEWS & RUMORS COVERED: Padres free agent starting pitchers Padres news today Padres starting pitcher market A.J.
