Nick Martinez has been one of the San Diego Padres most valuable arms so he’ll be missed if he ends up going to free agency and signing elsewhere. Him going to free agency seems likely at the moment, as Kevin Acee reported this afternoon that he and the Padres have declined their options.
The Padres had a $16 million club option for each of the next two seasons and Martinez could have taken his $8 million player options for 2024 and 2025.
It appears Nick Martinez is headed to free agency
