The Padres have avoided arbitration with all of their arbitration eligible players, according to the team.
We have avoided arbitration with 4 players, agreeing to terms with RHPs Enyel De Los Santos and Michael King, C Kyle Higashioka and LHP Adrian Morejon on 1-year contracts through 2024.
All salary arbitration eligible players are now signed.— San Diego Padres (@Padres) January 11, 2024Fans can complain about Preller making some bad signings and trades but what they can’t do is criticize his arbitration dealings with players.
There have been some big name players, such as Corbin Burnes, who have had some pretty bad arbitration experiences with their clubs but Preller and his team have prevented that from happening with every single player since he has become the GM.
