Friar Territory: a San Diego Padres podcast

Bring Back Michael King? Let Luis Arraez Walk? Examining The Padres' Offseason Decisions

Episode Summary

The Padres have 12 players who could be free agents and seven players headed to arbitration from their 90-win team. Kyle Glaser and Heath Bell break down the key decisions the Padres have to make this offseason, including whether to extend Luis Arraez a qualifying offer, how hard they should try to retain Michael King if he declines his player option, and if Ryan O'Hearn showed enough to justify the Padres making him their everyday first baseman. Plus, a look at tonight's Mariners-Tigers ALCS matchup, and why Heath Bell felt especially bad for Orion Kerkering as a fellow reliever.
