What is the story about?
Adrian Morejon has proven himself to be one of if not the best left handed reliever in MLB. He might be the closer on a lot of other teams, but for the San Diego Padres and their immense amount of bullpen depth and talent, Morejon is the setup man. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune believes that even with that being the case, Morejon might be the most valuable bullpen arm out of the group. The Cuban reliever enters 2026 knowing if he can repeat what he did last season, he can cash-in in the offseason
and likely end up being one of the highest paid relievers in the game.
