[MadFriars] The Padres have brought back old friend RHP Luis Patiño on a minor league deal. The 25-year-old had TJS in April. He’s exhausted all of his option years, so coming back as a MLFA allows him to work without roster pressure to see if he can get back on track.
Glad he’s back on a minors deal. Let him ramp up properly and see what happens with his stuff following surgery.
Love this. Long shot but no risk. Would be an awesome comeback story to see him contribute for the Padres.
I hope the rest of of our 2025 activity is a little more inspiring
Hell yeah I still believe Niebla can fix him
When Preller loves, he loves hard. He doesn’t give up on his favorites easily, and that loyalty gave us a great season of Jurickson Profar.
LFG, i still believe
Man i would this guy to be a solid 4/5 starter
KTF
Still young enough to make a go of it in the big leagues. I remember when Luis was untouchable when it came to trades. Goes to show how hard it is to forecast success at the pro level.
