Right-hander Nick Pivetta and the San Diego Padres finalize a $55 million, 4-year contract

Right-hander Nick Pivetta and the San Diego Padres have finalized a $55 million, four-year contract, a backloaded deal that allows him to opt out after the 2026 and ’27 seasons

Likely to be part of LF platoon Joe and Jason Heyward are expected to platoon in left field for the Padres this season, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact After All-Star outfielder Jurickson Profar signed with Atlanta in late January, the Padres signed Joe and Heyward on the same day in early February. It appears the plan is to have the pair platoon in left field, though Acee suggests that direction could change depending on how the players perform in spring training. If Joe is part of a platoon, he'll serve on the short side, though his splits weren't dramatic last year -- he had a .670 OPS against right-handed pitching and a .715 OPS versus southpaws.

Headed to San Diego Joe signed a contract with the Padres on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Joe was non-tendered by the Pirates in November after spending the last two seasons in Pittsburgh. He appeared in 256 regular-season games for the Pirates and slashed .238/.330/.396 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI over that span. The 32-year-old Joe should see some playing time in the outfield and at first base for the Padres in 2025.

Back in bench role Joe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After a stretch of five consecutive starts, Joe has now hit the bench in consecutive games for the Pirates. Joe will likely be in store for a short-side platoon role the rest of the way, barring Pittsburgh losing additional everyday players to injury.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • Associated Press

Slugs ninth homer Joe went 3-for-4 with a solo home run two RBI and two walks Wednesday against the Cubs.

Impact Joe got the start in right field in place of Bryan De La Cruz, and he delivered his second home run in his last three appearances. Though Joe's playing time has come primarily against lefties, Rowdy Tellez (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game early and Joe would be the likely replacement if Tellez is out for an extended period.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Filling in for resting De La Cruz Joe will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact After filling in for the left-handed-hitting Rowdy Tellez at first base while southpaw Justin Steele was on the hill for Chicago, Joe will retain a spot in the lineup in the series finale while the Cubs send righty Kyle Hendricks to the hill. Joe will be stepping in in right field in place of Bryan De La Cruz, who appears to be getting some routine maintenance after starting in each of the last eight games. Joe's opportunities to make starts against right-handed pitching are still expected to remain fairly limited during the final month of the season.

Racks up three hits Joe went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Impact Joe notched his first multi-hit game since June 26. The 31-year-old is batting a meager .224 (11-for-49) in July, and just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. For the season, he's slashing .244/.325/.383 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and two stolen bases across 332 plate appearances. Joe got the start in right field Tuesday, but he'll likely be back in a short-side platoon role at first base once outfielder Bryan De La Cruz reports to the Pirates after they acquired him in a trade with the Marlins earlier in the day.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench in Reynolds' return Joe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Impact Joe had picked up starts in three of the Pirates' last four games, but his run of regular playing time will likely come to an end after Bryan Reynolds (personal) reinstated from the bereavement list Monday. The Pirates should still clear a spot in the lineup for the right-handed-hitting Joe against left-handed pitching more often than not.
