Tyler Wade isn’t projected for the Padres’ Opening Day roster, per team updates, facing a trade or waivers with no minor-league options left.

Wade’s .641 OPS this spring and .524 OPS last season with the Padres leave him off the Opening Day lineup Monday, pending a trade or waivers process. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, banking on his utility skills for a 2025 role if he lands with a new team soon via trade or claim.

The Padres and Tyler Wade have agreed to a one-year, $900,000 contract to avoid arbitration.
