The current pitching rotation for San Diego consists of Yu Darvish, Dylan Cease and Michael King. The fourth and fifth spots in the rotation are vacant and need to be filled prior to Opening Day. The Padres have several options on their 40-man roster and each has potential to make an impact as a starter this season.
Randy Vasquez (RHP)
2024: 4-7 — 4.87 ERA — 20 Starts
Career: 6-9 — 4.31 ERA — 25 Starts
Vasquez is an obvious contender to make the rotation out of Spring Training. In fact, that may be preferred.
