He has 401 strikeouts in 368 1/3 innings.\n\nGo is a hard-throwing right-handed hitter who stands 5-foot-11 and carries a mid-90s fastball that can reach 98. He combines him with multiple breaking pitches. Go's control is generally solid, although his walk rate increased to 11.6 percent in his 44 innings last season.\n\nSince Go played fewer than nine seasons in the KBO, the Padres would have to By paying a release fee to the Twins, you sign him.\n\nGo is the brother-in-law of center fielder Jung Hoo Lee, whom the Padres pursued earlier this winter before he ultimately signed a six-year, $113 million contract with the Giants.\n n\n**How ​​does Go fit in?**\n\nTwo weeks ago, after the Padres signed Matsui, general manager AJ Preller noted that Matsui would be pitching “somewhere in the back of the game,” then added that he has to do that “Check out what other options are available this offseason.””,”type”:text”},{“__typename”: “Markdown”, “content”: “* What Yuki Matsui in the Bullpen will bring the Padres”, “type”: “text”}, {“__typename”: “Video”, “contentDate”: “2023-12-20T23:14:00Z”, “preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({\”preferredPlaybacks\” :\”mp4AvcPlayback\”} )”: “https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-12/20/f0cfb6f4-79eee21d-f07c96f7-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4”, “type”: “Video” ,”description”: “Hot Stove discusses news of Yuki Matsui's Japanese major league deal with the Padres”, “displayAsVideoGif”:false,”duration”:00:01:25″, “slug”padres-yuki-matsui-nearing-deal”,”tags”:[{“__typename”:”TeamTag”,”slug”:”teamid-135″,”title”:”San Diego Padres”,”team”:{“__ref”:”Team:135″},”type”:”team”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”vod”,”title”:”vod”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”mlb-network”,”title”:”MLB Network”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”mlbn-hot-stove”,”title”:”MLBN Hot Stove”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”transactions”,”title”:”transactions”,”type”:”taxonomy”}],”thumbnail”:{“__typename”: “Thumbnail”, “templateUrl”: https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/cgpsewqwxnyo8gzw5xwg”},”title” : “Padres, Yuki Matsui Deal”, “relativeSiteUrl”: “/video/padres-yuki-matsui-nearing-deal”}, {“__typename”: “Markdown”, “content”: “Go seems to be one of the others Options. Along with right-hander Robert Suarez, the Padres could be headed for a three-player battle for their closer role.\n\nBut whoever lines up at the back of his bullpen, all three will likely put up high-leverage innings. Steven Wilson , Tom Cosgrove and Enyel De Los Santos are also in the mix for prep roles, and the Padres will have a group of other pitchers they acquired this winter vying for the final spot or two in the pen.\n\n **What's next?**\n\nWith Go on the roster, the Padres' bullpen is close to completion, but sure, they're still looking for another setup arm or two. Bullpens are volatile by nature, and Preller has reiterated his belief that strength in numbers is the best way to reduce that volatility.\n\nSo another addition to the bullpen could be coming. But it's no longer the top priority or even the top pitching priority. The Padres need (at least) one more starter to fill out their rotation.\n\nBut the biggest hole on their roster remains in the outfield. Fernando Tatis Jr. is the only returning starter, while Juan Soto and Trent Grisham are dealt to the Yankees. Tatis is joined by only career backup José Azocar on the 40-man roster – although No. 13 prospect Jakob Marsee, the Arizona Fall League MVP, will get a chance to compete for a role this spring. \n\nIn any case, with further expansion of their bullpen now complete, the rotation and outfield are their clear remaining targets. “contentType”: “news”, “subHeadline”: null, “summary”: “SAN DIEGO – The Padres are nearing completion of their 2024 bullpen.
