Mason Miller

De Vries was the centerpiece the Padres sent back to the A's for Mason Miller last season and is considered one of the best prospects in baseball. It's customary for top prospects to get an invite to major league spring training, especially when they've already reached Double-A like De Vries did last season. It's unlikely the 19-year-old is ready to compete for a major league roster spot yet though. Of this trio, Jump has the best chance to reach the majors in 2026 after breaking out with a 3.28 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 131/34 K/BB ratio across 112 2/3 innings between High-A and Double-A last season.

Adam secures a nice pay raise over the $4.8 million that he took home in 2025. The 34-year-old hurler delivered another dominant season in his first full year with the Padres, compiling a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 70/25 K/BB ratio over 65 1/3 innings before a ruptured quad tendon ended his season prematurely at the beginning of September. He'll function in a setup capacity in front of Mason Miller once again in 2026, limiting his overall fantasy appeal.

The 27-year-old flamethrower was arbitration eligible for the first time as a Super Two player. He had been projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to earn $3.4 million in the arbitration process, so he appears to have done very well for himself here. With Robert Suarez out of the picture, Miller should have the ninth inning to himself in 2026 and will be one of the first closers plucked off of the board in all fantasy drafts.

Miller signed a one-year contract with the Padres on Thursday to avoid arbitration.
