Salary Arbitration:

Non-Tendered:
LHRP Bobby Cramer(35, 2.5*, 5-5 5.33 31K -0.1WAR)
RHRP Yoslan Herrera(33, 2*, 1-2 3.76 44K -0.9WAR)
RHRP Blake Wood(29, 2.5*, 5-3 1SV 4.61 64K 0.2WAR) – Estimate $1.8M
C Travis d’Arnaud(25, 2.5* .270-2-17 .736OPS 0.9WAR) – Estimate $1.8M
LF Jordan Danks(28, 2*, .210-4-22 .600OPS -0.1WAR)

This is a tough group, but it is time to bring in and trust the next generation of relief pitchers, and in the case of Jordan Danks, outfielders with more hitting potential. His two Gold Gloves will still life in our memory.

Contract Extension Offered:
SP Henderson Alvarez III(24, 2.5*, 11-10 3.32 105K 3.2WAR) - Estimate $3.36M – offered 1y/$3.25M extension
SP Marcus Stroman(23, 3.5*, 8-7 2.94 193K 3.6WAR) – Estimate $2.8M – offered 8y/$93.64M extension
RHRP Al Alburquerque(28, 2.5*, 1-2 2.00 71K 0.9WAR) – Estimate $850k – offered 1y/825k
RHRP Arodys Vizcaino(23, 2.5*, 7-4 5SV 2.94 61K 0.7WAR) - Estimate $850k – offered 1y/825k
C Devin Mesoraco(26, 3.5*, .282-24-75 .869OPS 4.7WAR) – Estimate $3.706M – offered 6y/$96.4M
1B Eric Thames(27, 2.5*, .242-2-19 .706OPS -0.2WAR) – Estimate $1.5M – offered 1y/$1.45M
2B Eduardo Escobar(25, 2.5*, .275-9-29 .811OPS 1.1WAR) – Estimate $1.7M – offered 1y/$1.65M
2B Adeiny Hechavarria(25, 2.5*, .261-5-42 .624OPS 0.2WAR) – Estimate $1.6M – offered 1y/$1.55M
SS Ryan Goins(26, 2*, .206-7-43 .576OPS 0.6WAR) – Estimate $800k – offered 1y/$800k
CF Jake Marisnick(23, 2.5*, .219-17-62 .633OPS 28/36SB 2.7WAR) – Estimate $1.938M – offered 8y/$54.5M

The key ones: Stroman, Mesoraco, Marisnick. I want my boys locked up. The hardest one of those three was Devin Mesoraco as he wanted up to $25M p.a. for his free agency years… and we had to go pretty close to those.

Upcoming Free Agents:
LHSP Scott Kazmir(30, 2.5*, 10-9 3.70 152K 2.8WAR) – wants 3y/$41.2M – We may offer a qualifying offer… but he technically is not good enough and we want room for the kids…
AAA LF Anthony Gose(24, 2.5*, .289-2-24 .749OPS 1.6WAR 18/24SB with SDP) Minor League Free Agent.

Gose was picked as a Rule 5 draftee and was really good with the Padres, so we will put him on the 40-man as a backup outfielder. He has now fully developed and still has 2 options left.

Transactions:
October 30th – LHRP Luis Perez(29, 2*, 5-5 4.75 29K -0.3WAR) and AAA 1B David Cooper(27, 2*, .284-5-46 .749OPS -0.8WAR AAA) were told that their services will no longer be required.

Development Lab:
MLB RF Avsail Garcia(23, 2/3*) Quality of Contact
AAA RHSP Jeremy Komosinski(22, 2.5/5*) Endurance Training
AAA RHSP Noah Syndergaard(22, 2/4*) Secondary Pitch Improvement
AAA RHRP Ricardo Maurer(20, 2.5/3*) Secondary Pitch Improvement
AAA SS Jim Hatfield(23, 2.5/3.5*) Gap Power
AA LHSP Victor Torres(18, 1.5/5*) Secondary Pitch Improvement
