The San Diego Padres still have a handful of free agents who haven't yet finalized their plans yet. One of those is infielder Ha-Seong Kim, who's expected to miss the beginning of the 2025 season but could be a valuable addition to any team as he's an above-average utility player who doesn't strike out a ton. One prediction has him landing a massive $60 million deal in free agency.

Another Padres free agent, this one an All-Star, was recently predicted to land with the division rival Los Angeles Dodgers in what would be a devastating turn of events for San Diego.

And finally, in some non free agency news, Joe Musgrove made an exciting announcement on social media.
