Padres Option Luis Patiño, Activate Austin Adams

By TC Zencka | September 20, 2020 at 1:31pm CDT

The San Diego Padres announced a pair of roster moves today. Luis Patiño has been optioned to the team’s alternate site, with Austin Adams being reinstated from the injured list to join the active roster. This will be Adams’ first appearance with the team since being acquired from the Seattle Mariners at the trade deadline.

Patiño is one of the Padres many highly-regarded pitching prospects. He’s now completed a couple of stints at the major-league level during the 2020 season, making 9 appearances out of the bullpen and starting one game. Long-term, the Padres hope Patiño will prove himself worthy of a rotation spot, but they have the luxury of patience with the 20-year-old right-hander.

It’s been a mixed bag over Patiño’s first 16 1/3 innings in the Show. His 5.51 ERA/5.82 FIP can largely be attributed to his 7.2 BB/9, a number that certainly has been colored by the small sample size of 2020. He’s also managed to notch 10.5 K/9, roughly in line with his minor league averages in that regard. Having finished 2019 in Double-A, it’s unlikely he was ready to make the jump directly to the majors under normal circumstances, though the talented youngster was certainly pegged to be a fast-rise in the Padres system.

Adams, 29, came to the Padres with Austin Nola and Dan Altavilla at the trade deadline. Thought it’s easy to consider Adams a throw-in because he was injured at the time of the deal, Adams nonetheless comes with four seasons of control beyond 2020, including one final pre-arb year in 2021. A waiver claim last season from the Nationals, Adams hasn’t stayed healthy long enough to sustain a breakout that began when he joined Seattle last season, but the possibility remains that Adams could become a vital piece of the San Diego bullpen this season or beyond.

His first appearance with the Padres will be his first overall in 2020, but he posted a 3.77 ERA/2.96 FIP in 2019 across 29 appearances totaling 31 innings with the Mariners. While command can be an issue, Adams managed 14.8 K/9 last year, a number that suggests he has the stuff to develop into a late-game stopper. It’ll be interesting to see how exactly the Padres plan to work him into the bullpen rotation in the limited games remaining before the playoffs.

    I still think Preller was drunk when he made that trade with the Mariners.

        Nola is a bum. Small sample size on him but his minors stats leave a lot to be desired. Looks bad since joining padres too.

          Why does everyone say a team got “fleeced” on every freaking trade? Nola, Adams and Altavilla have been and/or will all be useful this season and next. I don’t see any of Torrens, Munoz or Trammell becoming stars. So nobody got fleeced.

          You 2 do realize that the Padres were not attempting to trade for an all-star catcher right? They wanted a catcher who is average to plus defensively and who wouldn’t be a gaping hole in their lineup like Hedges, Mejia and Torrens were. They got that. Nola doesn’t have to hit .300 with 25-35 HR per year to be a HUGE upgrade for the Padres. They are very happy with what they got and it was worth what they paid for it. So what is the problem?

          I hate when fans say we won the trade before the trade is allowed to play out. When prospects are involved, it may take several years for a trade to play out. The Corey Kluber trade was panned by fans Yet, Texas ended up with one inning of Kluber and the Indians got some use out of DeShields and will have 6 years of Emmanuel Clase. If Clase becomes a back end of the bullpen piece, the Indians will do well, if not neither team will win “The Trade.”

      Agree he was desperate because Indians wanted Hedges so he had to get catcher.

    They only have 6 games left, assuming they can get Adams 3 appearances is that even enough for them to know if they want to roster him for the playoffs?

      They have what he did last year as well.
      53 K’s in 32 ip and only 20 hits.
      That’s pretty dominant.
      Plus…he’s just gravy on top of what ended up a great BP after a slow start.
