Padres' Adrian Morejon to Dodgers? One MLB Insider Thinks So

San Diego Padres free agent reliever Adrian Morejon was easily one of the best relievers in baseball last season in a bullpen that was easily one of the best in the sport. The relievers ate up the fourth-most innings in MLB last season, but accounted for an ERA of just 3.53, the fifth-lowest in the show.

According to MLB Trade Rumors insider Darragh McDonald , the Los Angeles Dodgers will make a play to try and break up the band and add the southpaw to their opulent roster.

Mason Miller rightfully collected most of the attention due to his 101.4 mph average fastball and finishing the season with the most saves in the National League (38) to go along with a 1.67 ERA, but Morejon has somewhat quietly been one of the most effective hurlers in recent years.

In 2026, Morejon proved why he is such a sought-after arm, ranking in the 99th percentile across MLB in getting batters to chase outside of the strike zone (38.6% of the time) and limiting barrels (just 2.8%). He was also in the 97th percentile in swing-and-miss rate, getting batters to swing at air 34.2% of the time, second only to Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski (among 178 pitchers who dealt more than 80 innings).
