The San Diego Padres have many decisions to make this offseason as their season once again ended much sooner than the organization would have liked.
With 17 potential free agents on the roster and likely trying to retool while maintaining a responsible payroll, the possibilities are endless for president of baseball operations AJ Preller.
The recent sale of the club to new owners Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano came with the duo relaying their commitment to a winning culture. However, rather than words, their actions amid the first offseason at the helm will be telling on how they manage future seasons.
According to contract predictions from Spotrac , there is a clearer idea of what it will take to keep the team's biggest free agents.
King had another fantastic season, pitching to the tune of a 3.21 ERA along with a career-high bWAR (4.3) and innings pitched (185). It was more of the same in the postseason as he had a microscopic 0.64 mark in 14 total innings of work.
