2025 Fantasy Outlook
After bouncing between the bullpen and rotation in 2023, Pivetta was mostly a starter in 2024. He once again had stretches of dominance but had an up-and-down season. The right-hander finished with a 4.14 ERA (3.51 xERA) over 145.2 innings. Pivetta lived in the strike zone - not unusual - with success (28.9 strikeout percentage) and failure (1.7 HR/9). He tends to hit a lot of barrels which can lead to elevated hard-hit rates, but he's pitched in a difficult market, missed some bats and doesn't walk many. That sounds like a major league starter, and the Red Sox extended him a $21.05 million qualifying offer, triple what he made in 2024. While the payday was enticing, Pivetta rejected the offer and will seek a multi-year offer. A couple of sources estimated he could get a three-year deal in the $50-60 million range.

Signed a four-year, $55 million contract with the Padres in February of 2025. Contract includes opt-outs after 2026 and 2027.
Stellar in eighth win
Pivetta (8-2) struck out 10 and earned the win Wednesday over the Nationals, allowing just three hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings.
Analysis
It was quite a bounce-back performance from Pivetta after he was tagged for four runs in just 4.2 innings against Kansas City in his last outing. The right-hander matched a season high with 10 strikeouts while delivering at least seven scoreless innings for the fourth time this year. Pivetta lowered his ERA to 3.36 on the season with a 1.03 WHIP and 101:24 K:BB across 16 starts (91 innings). He's currently lined up for a tough road matchup with the Phillies in his next outing.

2018
After eight starts, Pivetta was sporting a 6.30 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and nine homers allowed in 40 innings. He was moved to a multi-inning relief role where he excelled, posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 12 appearances spanning 20 frames. He fanned 25 with just one homer in that stretch. Pivetta spent the last three months of the season jumping between the rotation and serving as a bulk reliever, registering a 3.27 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over his final 82.2 innings, punching out 116 while surrendering a reasonable 13 homers. Pivetta's velocity picked up after he was initially demoted to the bullpen, and he started throwing his slider with more cutting action, both tweaks fueling Pivetta's second half success. He's a bit of a wild card this season as Pivetta exhibited success in several roles, and seemed to be at his best when he wasn't expected to pitch more than five frames, though he ended the season with two scoreless seven-inning starts. Pivetta's second half success can't be ignored, but paying for a repeat is a precarious proposition.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Closing in on contract
Pivetta is making progress toward a contract with an unknown team, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Analysis
Morosi rules out the incumbent Red Sox as the landing spot for Pivetta, but it's not clear which club is the favorite to sign the right-hander. Pivetta's market has been tough to pin down this offseason and undoubtedly has been affected by the hurler rejecting a qualifying offer, which means the team that signs him must surrender a draft pick. Slated to turn 32 on Friday, Pivetta held a 4.14 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 172:36 K:BB across 145.2 regular-season innings in 2024.
