As mentioned previously with Quintana, the Padres could use another proven left-handed starting option. Anderson would be just that, posting a 4.56 ERA last season with the Los Angeles Angels. He’s just one year removed from an All-Star season in 2024, and the Padres should be willing to take the odds on an aging Anderson. He won’t be electric and relies on the defense, but at the very least, he’d be another depth option for San Diego.
