2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hart last appeared in the majors in 2020, appearing four times (three starts) for Boston in the pandemic season. He spent last season with the NC Dinos in the KBO, compiling 157 innings over 26 starts. He posted an encouraging 2.69 ERA and 1.032 WHIP, with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.0 percent walk rate. To put things in perspective, the quality of play in the KBO is considered a tad below Double-A, so a 31-year-old hurler should dominate at the level. That said, Erick Fedde parlayed his year in the KBO into a successful return to MLB, though Fedde was better than Hart during their tenure in the majors. Someone will likely take a chance on Hart, at which point he's someone to track. Until then, he's not worth a roster spot, even in deep draft and hold formats. Read Past Outlooks

$Signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Padres in February of 2025. Contract includes $5 million team option ($500,000 buyout) for 2026. Contract includes salary escalators of up to $2.5 million for 2026 based on games started.
Optioned to Triple-A
PSan Diego Padres  AAA
May 30, 2025
The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Bradgley Rodriguez, whose contract was selected by the Padres from Double-A San Antonio. Hart was promoted to the majors to start against the Marlins on Wednesday and allowed five runs on six hits and no walks while striking out one batter in 4.2 innings in a no-decision. He'll head back to Triple-A, where he has a 3.07 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 12:12 K:BB across 14.2 innings.
