In a monumental announcement that has sent waves of excitement throughout Major League Baseball, the San Diego Padres have officially welcomed back one of the most iconic figures in franchise history. Trevor Hoffman, the Hall of Fame closer and longtime face of the Padres, will return to the organization in 2025 — this time as a co-owner.

The announcement was made earlier today by Padres owner Eric Kutsenda and his family, who praised Hoffman not only for his historic career on the field but also for his enduring connection to the city of San Diego and its fans.

“Trevor Hoffman is more than a legend — he is the heart and soul of Padres baseball,” said Kutsenda. “Bringing him back in this leadership role is a dream come true for our organization, our players, and most importantly, our community.”

Hoffman, who played 16 seasons with the Padres from 1993 to 2008, was known for his unforgettable entrance to AC/DC’s “Hells Bells”, his devastating changeup, and his unrivaled ability to shut down games. He recorded 601 career saves, second-most in MLB history, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.

Speaking at the press conference, an emotional Hoffman shared his gratitude and excitement:

“San Diego is home. The Padres gave me everything, and now I have the incredible honor of giving back in a whole new way. As co-owner, I’m committed to helping guide this franchise to championship heights.”

Hoffman will reportedly be involved in front office leadership, player development, and community outreach, bringing his experience, insight, and passion to every level of the organization.

Fans across San Diego are celebrating the announcement, with many calling it a “historic homecoming” and a “perfect reunion.” Hoffman remains one of the most beloved figures in Padres history — his No. 51 jersey was retired in 2011, and his legacy continues to inspire future generations.

With Trevor Hoffman now back in the fold, the San Diego Padres are not just looking to the past — they’re building a powerful future rooted in greatness, loyalty, and championship ambition.
