There’s no denying that Skubal is the top free agent on the market no matter the position, with the projection being that he’ll earn a $400 million contract. According to MLB insider Jim Bowden on “Foul Territory,” the Padres are going “all in” this winter.

“When Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano sent that letter to the season ticket holders and said they’re all in, yeah, they legitimately are,” Bowden said. “A.J. Preller literally is everywhere, meeting with agents, meetings with teams.”
“Of course, he does have a lot of holes to fill,” Bowden continued. “Starting rotation the priority, but he is everywhere, and I think that part is going to be exciting. I think the Padres are going to be a threat again.”
At any rate, it remains to be seen if San Diego ends up with the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner.
