One former member of the San Diego Padres still is looking for a new home.

Former Padres superstar Blake Snell, surprisingly, is still available. The 2023 National League Cy Young Award winner has been looking for a massive contract this offseason and hasn’t landed it yet.

The free agent market has been surprising this year. Things have moved excruciatingly slowly, and there are still some top-tier options out there. Snell arguably is the best free agent remaining, with one club reportedly showing “serious interest” in him. According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, that team is the New York Yankees.

“The New York Yankees, who offered free-agent starter Blake Snell a five-year, $150 million contract before turning to Marcus Stroman last month, still have serious interest in him,” Nightengale said. “They are waiting to see if his asking price drops on a long-term deal or if he agrees to take a short-term contract that could pay him in excess of $35 million a year.”

Snell led the National League with an impressive 2.25 ERA last season across 32 starts with San Diego. The lefty spent the last three seasons with the Padres but likely will be playing elsewhere in 2024.

New York has been in the news since the 2023 campaign ended, as the club has made multiple major splashes. The Yankees completed a blockbuster trade with San Diego early in the offseason for superstar slugger Juan Soto. But it sounds like there’s a chance he won’t be the only former Padre playing for New York in 2024.
