Sporting one of the better baseball names in the game, Kash Mayfield also possesses a skillset that implies he could be a future starter in San Diego. The Padres' No. 4 prospect in 2025, per MLB.com, has a wicked changeup, plenty of arm-side carry on a fastball that touches 97 mph, and a sense of poise that led to a strikeout-to-walk ratio north of three last season.

The San Diego Padres have signed Miguel Andujar to a one-year, $4 million deal. The once-everyday starter for the New York Yankees no longer has that role, but he still brings a level of hit-ability, arm strength, and grittiness at the plate that San Diego could use as a shot in the arm in certain scenarios. Batting well over .300 for the 2025 season, Andujar will likely fill in as the team's DH or as a top pinch-hitting option. This video breaks down his strengths, weaknesses, and projected role on the team going forward. View full video
