"On Thursday evening, Mark Feinsand reported that the San Diego Padres have re-signed Michael King, a three-year deal worth up to $75 million, with player opt outs after the 2026 and 2027 seasons. King was drafted by the Miami Marlins in 2016, but was traded to the New York Yankees after the 2017 season and made his debut with the Bronx Bombers in 2019."
"His 2024 season was a great one for the righty, as he posted a 2.95 ERA and 3.33 FIP in 173.2 innings pitched, with a 27.7 K% and 8.7 BB%. King dealt with a few injuries in 2025, limiting him to just 15 starts with the National League West team. Overall, he finished with a 3.44 ERA and 4.42 FIP in 73.1 innings pitched. Thanks to his strong 2024 and great stuff, the Padres extended King a qualifying offer, which he declined."
Michael King re-signed with the San Diego Padres on a three-year deal worth up to $75 million with player opt outs after the 2026 and 2027 seasons. King was drafted by the Miami Marlins in 2016, traded to the New York Yankees after 2017, and made his MLB debut in 2019. King transitioned from a successful Yankees bullpen role into the Padres' rotation after the 2023 trade and became a full-time starter. King posted a 2.95 ERA and 3.33 FIP across 173.2 innings in 2024, then dealt with injuries in 2025 that limited him to 73.1 innings and a 3.44 ERA. The Padres extended a qualifying offer that King declined, which would have cost other teams a draft pick, and multiple AL East clubs had been linked to interest.
