Hoffman, who had an 18-year Major League career, spent 16 seasons with the Padres. The right-hander finished his career with 601 saves, the second most all-time. Of that total, 552 saves came with the Padres.
A key contributor to San Diego's National League pennant-winning club in 1998, the Padres retired Hoffman's No. 51 in 2011, then inducted him into the Padres Hall of Fame in '14.
Currently in his second year as a senior advisor in the Padres' baseball operations department, Hoffman was also a special assistant to the president and chief executive officer from 2011-13, and an upper-level pitching coordinator in '14.
