Fantasy Impact: 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.

Fantasy Impact: Morejon has become a force in the back-end of the Padres' bullpen over the past two seasons. The lefty was sensational last year as he won 13 games as a reliever and pitched to a 2.08 ERA in a career-high 73.2 innings. He has a career ERA of 3.43 in 212.1 innings, all with San Diego. Morejon will likely serve as the primary setup man for the Padres in 2026.
