Show Notes
Nick Pivetta, a 33-year-old right-hander, is set to make his first Opening Day start for the San Diego Padres in the 2026 season. After a breakout year with the Boston Red Sox in 2025, Pivetta signed a four-year, $55 million deal with the Padres. Despite concerns about arm fatigue and a rough spring training, the Padres are counting on him to lead their rotation, which has been hit hard by injuries and trades. Pivetta will face off against Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal on Opening Day, with his salary increasing to $20.5 million and an opt-out clause after the season.
