Mike Elias taking another step towards turning things around for 2026. KW is even less of a riverboat gambling...AJ Preller must be addicted to being the center of attention every trade deadline and off season (except this most recent one). Gutted the system trading for high leverage relievers last year. Only three games behind the Dodgers. Edited July 31 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives? 6:37 70 Done clutchpoints.com San Diego solved a lot of the problems in their pitching staff when they brought in Miller and Sears. However, their offensive issues remained a big concern. However, O'Hearn's bat is a massive upgrade at first base. Luis Arraez was not doing terribly, but the gap between him and the All-Star is a massive one. He and Laureano strengthens what was already a good staring lineup. The one downside to the trade was just how many prospects the Padres had to part ways with. According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, Bateman highlights a list of six top prospects that left San Diego to make the deal happen. Blockbuster trades at the MLB trade deadline can gut a team's farm system. The Padres proved that in the span of just two trades this season.
