15. SP Sean Manaea (Age: 32)
Stats: 30 GS, 11-5, 3.26 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 61 BB, 177 K, 171.0 IP, 3.2 WAR
Manaea has steadily raised his stock thanks to a strong second half, including a current stretch of seven straight starts where he has gone at least 6.2 innings every time out and posted a 2.81 ERA over 48 innings. He has a $13.5 million player option for the 2025 season but looks like a lock to decline that in search of more guaranteed money and a multiyear deal.
14. OF Jurickson Profar (Age: 31)
Stats: 150 G, 137 OPS+, .283/.385/.463, 50 XBH (23 HR), 83 RBI, 3.6 WAR
The best seasons of Profar’s career have come in a Padres uniform, including a 3.0-WAR campaign in 2022 before he flopped on a one-year deal with the Rockies the following year. Will that be reason enough for him to potentially take a discount to stay in San Diego? The former No. 1 prospect in baseball leads the NL with a .385 on-base percentage. Not bad for a guy playing on a one-year, $1 million contract.
13. 1B/OF Cody Bellinger (Age: 29)
Stats: 122 G, 114 OPS+, .268/.330/.435, 43 XBH (18 HR), 70 RBI, 2.4 WAR
