Wandy Peralta has opted to stay with the San Diego Padres after exercising his $4.25 million option, securing a potential four-year contract worth $16.5 million. The left-hander had a solid season, posting a 3.99 ERA across 46 relief appearances despite a mid-season injury.

In contrast, Ha-Seong Kim has declined his $8 million mutual option, opting for free agency after a challenging season marred by a shoulder injury that required surgery. He finished with a .233 batting average, 11 home runs, and 22 stolen bases.
