San Diego Padres pitcher Michael King has elected free agency, though the possibility remains that he could re-sign with the team. King, who wore number 34, was removed from Game 2 of the National League Division Series by manager Craig Stammen during the sixth inning at American Family Field in Milwaukee on October 4, 2026. The Padres' postseason run ended in the NLDS, and King now enters the open market while the club retains interest in bringing him back.
