Padres Non-Tender Jay Groome
Jay Groome. Groome was suspended for one season after violating the league's gambling policy. In 2023, the southpaw spent his entire campaign with Triple-A El Paso. Across 134 2/3 innings, the left-hander posted a high 8.55 ERA with a 2.10 WHIP. During this stint, he struck out 137 batters but served up a high 112 free passes. However, during the 2022 campaign, Groome showed potential at the Triple-A level. Across time with Worcester and El Paso, Groome held a 3.34 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP across 67 1/3 innings of work. Given his struggles during the 2023 season, fantasy managers should not expect Groome to draw much interest in free agency. If he were to sign a contract, he would likely spend the remainder of the season in the minor leagues.
