The San Diego Padres and Joe Musgrove are optimistic about reaching an agreement on an extension this week, according to a report.
The two sides recently resumed negotiations on a long-term deal.
Musgrove, 29, is coming off his first All-Star appearance and is willing to explore free agency this offseason if a deal isn't reached.
San Diego originally acquired Musgrove in a three-team deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees in January 2021.
