Padres stay put in San Diego as sale looms, Ty France returns, Pivetta backs one-catcher plan

Padres chairman John Seidler reaffirmed the team will remain in San Diego even as the family explores a sale that could close by 2026, with bidders including Lacob, Friedkin and Feliciano; relocation would be costly, making a move unlikely. Meanwhile, Ty France, back with the Padres on a minor-league deal, returns to his hometown club and adds first-base/DH depth. On the field, Nick Pivetta says he prefers working with a single catcher (Freddy Fermin in the playoff game), signaling a possible one-catcher approach despite mixed calls from management about a two-catcher plan.

Red Sox Extend Qualifying Offer to Veteran Starter Amid Roster Changes

The Boston Red Sox have extended a qualifying offer to pitcher Nick Pivetta for the 2025 season, valued at $21.05 million, while opting not to do the same for slugger Tyler O’Neill. Pivetta, who had a mixed performance last season, has until November 19 to accept or decline the offer. If he declines, the Red Sox will receive draft pick compensation if he signs with another team. The decision suggests the Red Sox may be looking to bolster their pitching depth or trade young starters like Tanner Houck or Kutter Crawford. Meanwhile, O’Neill, who had a strong season, is free to negotiate with other teams without draft pick compensation attached.
