Padres Officially Release 17 Players From Organization in Major Overhaul

The San Diego Padres are looking ahead to the stretch run of the season following a successful trade deadline.

San Diego addressed one of the main needs of the roster, bringing in multiple pitchers to help bolster the depth of the rotation. Both Casey Mize and Robbie Ray should allow the Padres more flexibility to work with heading into the final two months.

But now that the deadline is over, the team has started to undergo some housekeeping across the organization to make room for undrafted free agents. Thus, the Padres have officially released 17 players.
