• Padres' Tyler Wade: Avoids arbitration

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Wade signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Wade struggled at the big-league level in 2024, slashing just .217/.285/.239 across 155 plate appearances. However, the Padres will keep him around for another year to serve as bench depth, and the 29-year-old will earn a $50,000 raise in the process.

• Padres' Tyler Wade: Sitting third straight

  08/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets. Wade got the first crack at shortstop duties following Ha-Seong Kim's (shoulder) injury but didn't capitalize on the opportunity, going 0-for-11 at the dish. He'll yield to Mason McCoy for a third consecutive contest Saturday and it appears as though Wade has been usurped by McCoy as the Padres' temporary starting shortstop.

• Padres' Tyler Wade: Filling in for injured Kim

  08/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Wade is in the lineup for a third straight game, as the Padres appear to have settled on him as their primary replacement at shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though he is a competent defender in the middle infield, Wade shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value other than the occasional stolen base while he's getting regular playing time. He's batting .231 with no home runs in 138 plate appearances with the Padres in 2024 and is a lifetime .219/.295/.291 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues.
