Sheets enjoyed his best season at the major league level in 2025, posting career bests in nearly every offensive category. In his first season in San Diego, Sheets batted .252 with 19 home runs and 71 RBI in 145 games. He has played five seasons at the big league level - the first four with the Chicago White Sox. Sheets can play first base and the outfield but, given the Padres' current roster, he will likely open the season as the team's primary DH and hit towards the middle of the lineup.

Gavin Sheets went 2-for-4 against the Giants with two home runs, two runs scored, and four RBI.
