But he put up solid numbers in 2023 that made him an important piece of the package New York sent to the Padres in exchange for Juan Soto.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3CBHM2M6CFDERFLZ5FYYAP6CWY\">Since then, King has shown a lot of upside as he approaches free agency at the completion of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JNJHO2OMGVC2TCAC3XJ5J44UKQ\">\u201cI was skeptical he could make it work, and now he looks like he\u2019s a year away from $100 million [or more],\u201d one executive said to The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TA2FT4LHC5FTJMWNVO4YC332FY\">King was one of the players the Yankees shipped to the Padres last winter in the seven-player blockbuster trade for Soto. He spent three years in the Bronx as a reliever for the Yankees before his trade to San Diego, where he was transitioned into a starter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EIRCIBN2ZVFZLLS66PVX5KXX3Y\">In 33 starts for San Diego in 2024, King put up a 2.95 ERA over 173.2 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Yankees free agent finally signs with a new team, a week before Opening Day<\/li>\n<li>Ex-Red Sox pitcher is in \u2018final stages\u2019 of cancer battle<\/li>\n<li>Yankees pitcher battling for bullpen spot feels drawback to ABS challenge system<\/li>\n<li>Yankees respond to reliever\u2019s 11.12 spring ERA, latest \u2018rough\u2019 outing<\/li>\n<li>Yankees demote long shot third base candidate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<p id=\"3XY7RZY6AFGF5LYPQOG4A2RZHE\"><i>Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
