Yuki Matsui can earn $33.6 million over five seasons with the San Diego Padres if the reliever becomes the club's closer.

Matsui can opt out of the deal after three years and $14.5 million if his pitching elbow remains healthy.

The Japanese left-hander's agreement is a $28 million, five-year deal that includes salaries of $3.25 million this year, $5.5 million in 2025, $5.75 million in 2026, $6.5 million in 2027 and $7 million in 2028.

The 5-foot-8 left-hander would have the right to opt out after the 2026 season if he has not had Tommy John surgery or has not had an elbow injury that caused more than 130 consecutive days on the injured list spanning 2024 and '25.
