Padres Reliever Wandy Peralta Exercises $4.5 Million Option for 2027

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Wandy Peralta has opted into his $4.5 million player option for the 2027 season, keeping the left-hander under contract with the club for another year.

The decision was reported on November 1, 2026, confirming Peralta will remain with the Padres rather than entering free agency. The 33-year-old reliever has been a key piece of San Diego's bullpen since joining the organization.

By exercising the option, Peralta guarantees himself $4.5 million for the 2027 campaign while providing the Padres with a proven late-inning option for their playoff push next season.
