Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Padres fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/0DWS6R\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Friar Faithful have been waiting for some good news this offseason and it finally came with the announcement that the San Diego Padres were re-signing free agent right-hander Michael King. That news followed recent comments from Yu Darvish about his future with the Padres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The feeling most San Diego fans got after hearing from Darvish was that he will not return to the Padres as a member of the rotation. This feeling was confirmed in a recent Gaslamp Ball Padres Reacts Survey that showed only 17 percent of fans believe the right-hander will return to the mound. Darvish himself stated that he is focused on his rehab and not on pitching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Darvish has three years and $46 million remaining on his contract and there have been reports that he and the Padres might look at a buyout of the remaining years and money that he is owed. Whether or not that is something Darvish or San Diego want to explore will be discussed by fans and media ad nauseum in the days weeks and months ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB.
