Pivetta's Injury Could Reshape Padres Future | San Diego Padres News

Nick Pivetta’s Padres contract could unravel due to injury — his two-year, $32M deal now hinges on how long he’s been sidelined. Originally signed for $55M over four years, his 2025 opt-out turns into a club option if he spends too much time on the IL — which he has, thanks to a lingering forearm strain. Though he threw two innings in minor league rehab yesterday, elbow discomfort forced him to exit early, leaving his return uncertain. The Padres may renegotiate, especially since lost time could make a new deal more appealing for both sides. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
