Luis Arráez became the only player this season to win three consecutive batting titles with three different currencies. The San Diego Padres enjoyed the best version of the Venezuelan and therefore should not let him go.
Arráez has had some instability after so many team changes he has had in his short career. He has been well received in San Diego by fans, teammates and management, so he should continue in the organization.
The infielder will enter his last year of arbitration in 2025. But before thinking about free agency, he prefers to receive an extension offer and wants it to be from the Padres.
The Venezuelan hit for an average of .314 and had his second 200-hit season. He didn’t have his best performance in the playoffs, but it’s worth reviewing 4 reasons why the San Diego Padres should not trade Luis Arráez in 2025.
Luis Arráez has told the press that he wants to stay in San Diego. “I don’t want to think about a change. I just want to play for the San Diego Padres next year”he said last week. “I want to stay here. But everyone knows this is a business. I understand the business, but I want to stay here for a long time”. The Venezuelan earned $10.6 million this season and wants a contract of at least five seasons.
