2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vasquez came to the Padres from the Yankees as part of the Juan Soto trade last offseason, and he ended up bouncing between the minors and majors in his first year with San Diego, logging 98.0 big-league innings and 41.2 Triple-A frames. The right-hander did an adequate job at limiting walks (6.7 BB%) and tossed six quality starts among his 20 outings, but his overall numbers (4.87 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, 62:29 K:BB) were below average. Vasquez's fastball sits at 94-95 mph -- good enough for success in the majors -- but he posted a meager 18.9% whiff rate during his time with the Padres and an even more paltry 14.4% strikeout rate (the latter number ranked in the first percentile leaguewide). Joe Musgrove is recovering from Tommy John surgery and may not pitch at all next season, which gives Vasquez a clearer path to a rotation spot, but his profile isn't one of a desirable fantasy starter.

Vasquez will begin the 2025 season in the Padres' starting rotation, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Vasquez has been competing for a spot near the back end of San Diego's starting rotation throughout spring training, and the team named Vasquez and Kyle Hart the fourth and fifth starters Monday, resulting in the demotion of Stephen Kolek to Triple-A El Paso. Vasquez performed well during camp, posting a 3.38 ERA with seven strikeouts and one walk over three appearances.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A major beneficiary of an offseason trade that sent Juan Soto and Trent Grisham to New York, Vasquez goes from being a long reliever with the Yankees to a strong rotation candidate with the Padres. This is partially due to the Padres' shallow starting pitching depth chart, but there's reason beyond that to give Vasquez an opportunity as a big-league starter. He sits at 94-95 mph with his fastball and threw his cutter, slider, changeup and curveball over 10 percent of the time in the majors last season, so it's a full starter's pitch mix. Vasquez is a 6-foot righty, so he doesn't get much extension on his pitches, but he has comfortably logged over 100 innings in three straight seasons. His curveball is his top offspeed pitch, but his 17.9 Whiff% was well below average, so it's hard to argue Vasquez has a high ceiling. Still, there's a chance he emerges as a solid home streamer in 15-team and deeper formats as long as he wins a rotation spot this spring.
