The Opener: Padres, DFA Resolution, MLBTR Chat
Briefly

As spring training approaches, key observations in the baseball world include potential trades by the Padres due to increased payroll capacity, which may enable roster enhancements. The team is considering trading players like Dylan Cease and Michael King, both of whom have drawn interest from other teams. Additionally, the Mariners are facing a deadline concerning left-hander Jay, who was DFA'd after a trade acquisition, with news on his status expected soon. With preseason approaching, the offseason dynamic is shifting significantly among teams.
The Padres might have more payroll capacity this winter than initially believed, allowing them to avoid shedding salary while still needing trades for roster improvements.
The Mariners designated left-hander Jay for assignment, and his future will be resolved today, either through a waiver claim or clearing waivers.
