    Padres avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year deal with RHP Michael King with a mutual option for 2026.
    The exact details of the deal are not known, but it’ll be between the $8.8 million he asked for and the $7.325 the Padres offered. King has been the subject of trade talks lately, but assuming he’s not dealt he’ll pitch in the middle of the San Diego rotation in 2025.

    The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal said teams believe Michael King remains “in play” for trades this offseason.
    We already know that the Padres are debating trading Dylan Cease as they look to cut payroll and acquire more cost-controlled, long-term assets; however, Rosenthal also mentions that King is another starter who other teams believe could be traded. As Rosenthal noted, King asked for $8.8 million in arbitration and the Padres offered $7.325 million, so a hearing appears likely. This upcoming season will also be King’s last season before free agency, so if the Padres don’t feel like they have a chance to re-sign him to a longer-term deal, they could look to move him now while his return value would be highest.

    Michael King allowed five runs in five innings and got the win in the Padres’ 6-5 victory over the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
    King gave up five hits, walked one and struck out three. King allowed a home run to Mookie Betts in the first inning that was almost robbed by Jurickson Profar, which would’ve been the second time he robbed Betts of a home run in two games. Staked to a 6-1 lead in the third inning, King then gave up a grand slam to Teoscar Hernandez on a hanging breaking pitch. King settled down to get through five innings without any further damage and turned the game over to the Padres bullpen to preserve his second win of the postseason so far.

    Michael King tossed seven shutout innings and got the win in the Padres’ 4-0 victory over the Braves in Game 1 of the Wild Card series on Tuesday.
    King gave up five hits, walked none and struck out 12. He was excellent. The Padres traded Juan Soto last offseason because they needed pitching and payroll flexibility. King was the headliner in the package going to San Diego and he’s delivered in his first season with the Padres and as a full-time starting pitcher in general.

    The Padres intend to go with a rotation of Michael King, Joe Musgrove and Dylan Cease against the Braves in the NLDS.
    Musgrove is getting moved ahead of Cease here, which is a little surprising. This will put King on six days’ rest, Musgrove on five and Cease on seven, if Game 3 is necessary.

    With their postseason spot locked up, the Padres will not start Michael King against the D-backs on Sunday.
    They’ll go with Randy Vásquez on Saturday and Martín Pérez on Sunday. As a result, King ends the regular season 13-9 with a 2.95 ERA. He’ll likely join Dylan Cease and Joe Musgrove as the Padres’ slated starters in their home Wild Card series.

    Michael King allowed only one unearned run over five innings Tuesday as the Padres beat the Dodgers 4-2 to clinch a postseason berth.
    The Padres could yet win the NL West if they sweep the Dodgers here, but they’ll be playing in October regardless. They won tonight on a 5-4-3 triple play after the Dodgers picked up three straight hits to begin the bottom of the ninth. King moved to 13-9 with a 2.95 ERA. The Padres could start him again on Sunday, but it seems more likely that he’ll be saved for the postseason.

    Michael King tossed seven innings and allowed two runs Tuesday against the Astros.
    We’ll see what October holds, but the Padres couldn’t possibly have asked for anything more from King through 5 1/2 months after making him the primary return in the Juan Soto deal. He has a 3.04 ERA and 198 strikeouts over 168 2/3 innings through 30 starts. He’ll probably make his final regular-season start against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Michael King allowed three runs -- one earned -- with six strikeouts over five innings in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.
    King fired two scoreless frames before a hit batter and a walk put two runners on in the third. An error and two hits would bring three runs in to score for the Mariners, two charged as unearned runs. King would toss two more scoreless innings, ending his day after five with six strikeouts. The 29-year-old right-hander will take a 3.06 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 191/60 K/BB ratio across 161 2/3 innings into a start against the Astros in San Diego on Tuesday.

    Michael King limited the Giants to a run in six innings while striking out eight to pick up a win Friday.
    King blanked the Giants until giving up a solo homer to Michael Conforto in the sixth. The right-handed hurler was able to get through the rest of the inning unscatched, and it’s another strong outing for the former Yankee starter. King now has an ERA of 3.10 that is complemented by a 184/58 K/BB over 156 2/3 frames. He should be in lineups for a rematch with the Giants next week.
