A look at the most expensive signees under Padres international scouting director Chris Kemp and where they are now:

LHP Adrian Morejon ($11 million): The 21-year-old Cuban has a 6.26 ERA through his first 271⁄3 regular-season innings but impressed with three shutout innings in the wild-card series.

OF Jorge Oña ($7 million): The 24-year-old Cuban homered while going 3-for-12 last year during his first call-up.

INF Luis Almanzar ($4.05 million): The 21-year-old Dominican has not yet advanced to high Single-A and is a .211/.297/.288 hitter through three minor league seasons.

RHP Michel Baez ($3 million): The 24-year-old Cuban has a 3.67 ERA since making his MLB debut in the summer of 2019; he appeared in only three games in 2020.

LHP Osvaldo Hernandez ($2.5 million): The 22-year-old Cuban has a 2.94 ERA and 189 strikeouts over three minor league seasons; he has not pitched above high Single-A.

RHP Ronald Bolaños ($2.25 million): The 24-year-old Cuban was traded to the Royals in July in the deal that landed LHP Tim Hill; Bolaños had debuted with the Padres in 2019.

OF Ismael Mena ($2.2 million): The 18-year-old Dominican was in the package that landed Darvish; Mena signed in July 2019 and had not made his organizational debut in the minors.

SS Gabriel Arias ($1.9 million): The 20-year-old Venezuelan was packaged to Cleveland in the Clevinger trade; Arias hit a careerhigh 17 homers at high Single-A Lake Elsinore to earn first nonroster invite to spring training last February.

OF Jeisson Rosario ($1.85 million): The 21-year-old Dominican and 3B prospect Hudson Potts were sent to Boston for Moreland. Rosario is a .264/.376/.340 hitter across three seasons in the low minors.
