Blake Snell could return to the San Diego Padres in free agency following the 2024 season.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Snell is "almost sure" to decline his $30 million player option with the San Francisco Giants this offseason. He added the Padres "love" the veteran starter and "could play for him this winter."
San Diego was also one of several teams to "inquire" about Snell's availability prior to the July 30 trade deadline, per Heyman. He was a member of the organization from 2021 through 2023 before he joined the Giants as a free agent in March.
