  The Padres are pausing Nick Pivetta’s rehab assignment pending further evaluation, manager Craig Stammen told reporters (including AJ Cassavell of MLB.com). Pivetta departed in the middle of his first inning of his rehab assignment with Low-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday.
  It’s not entirely clear what happened, as the veteran starter was able to throw a 20-30 pitch bullpen session later that day. He went through a long toss program yesterday and was not scheduled for any imaging, at

  The Padres are trying to add a left-handed bat in the next two hours. Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports they’ve had discussions with the Twins about Trevor Larnach. Heyman also linked them to a pair of potential Cardinals’ trade candidates, Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar.
  Dennis Lin of The Athletic similarly reports that the Friars are looking for a left-handed bat in addition to an ongoing pitching search. They already acquired Robbie Ray from the Giants t

• Giants Trade Robbie Ray To Padres

  03-08-2026 21:31 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Padres are getting some direly needed rotation help. On Monday, they announced the acquisition of left-hander Robbie Ray from the division-rival Giants in exchange for pitching prospect Miguel Mendez and shortstop prospect Joniel Hernandez. The two clubs will reportedly split the remainder of Ray’s salary. Since Ray and Mendez are both on their respective organizations’ 40-man rosters, no corresponding 40-man moves were needed.Ray, 34, gives the Friars some much-needed stability

• Mariners Not Planning To Trade Arozarena, Could Still Move A Starter

  03-08-2026 19:58 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Mariners added a big right-handed bat to their corner outfield with this morning’s deal to land Taylor Ward from Baltimore. That’s apparently not going to be a precursor to a trade of their own impending free agent left fielder.
  Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports that the M’s are not planning to trade Randy Arozarena. There’d been chatter over the weekend about Arozarena potentially coming available. The M’s closed the weekend by winning the final two g

• Padres, Phillies Interested In Robbie Ray

  03-08-2026 17:40 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  Giants left-hander Robbie Ray is one of the most logical trade candidates still on the board. Joel Sherman of The New York Post reports that the Padres are interested. Bob Nightengale of USA Today says the Phillies have him on their radar. He has also been connected to the Cubs, although that was before that club acquired Kevin Gausman from the Blue Jays.
  Ray, 34, is an impending free agent on a Giants team that is clearly selling. They have already sent out Tyler Mahle, Luis Arraez and Caleb Ki

• Latest On Padres’ Relievers

  03-08-2026 15:20 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  Though there’s been plenty of talk surrounding both relievers, the Padres aren’t likely to let go of either left-hander Adrián Morejón or righty Mason Miller, writes AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Dennis Lin of The Athletic suggests the same.
  It’s seemed like a long shot that Miller, baseball’s best reliever who’s controlled three years beyond 2026, would change hands for some time now. The Padres have listened and will probably continue to do so throughout

  03-08-2026 02:20 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Padres improved to 58-54 with today’s 5-4 win over the Giants, and San Diego has now won eight of its last nine games to move within a game of the final NL wild card berth.  This surge might officially push the Padres into more of a clear-cut buying stance as the deadline approaches, yet one can never count president of baseball operations A.J. Preller out of making any sort of unexpected move in regards to roster-building or addressing his team’s payroll.

• Padres Sign J.P. France To Minor League Deal

  02-08-2026 22:04 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Padres have brought in right-hander J.P. France on a minor league deal, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. France was released from the Astros’ system on Thursday, having spent the past three months on an outright assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land. The Klutch Sports client will report to the Padres’ Triple-A affiliate in El Paso.
  France only made it into three games for the Astros in April before getting designated for assignment. He allowed six earned runs in 6 2/3 inni

• Several Teams Showing Interest In Luis Arraez

  02-08-2026 17:39 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Giants have yet to move any of their assets, but they’re one of the clearest sellers heading into Monday’s trade deadline. Second baseman Luis Arraez is an impending free agent and obvious candidate to find his way to a contender, especially after the report that there haven’t been extension talks between the parties.
  Arraez was scratched from tonight’s matchup against the Padres, but it doesn’t appear a trade is imminent. The team said the infielder was crampin

• Twins Targeting Right-Handed Relievers, Have Room To Further Add To Payroll

  01-08-2026 20:21 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Twins have made a pair of trades in the past 48 hours, adding lefty reliever A.J. Minter and right-handed starter Dean Kremer in deals with the Mets and Orioles. In doing so, they took on the remainder of both players’ salaries — about $5.1MM in total. Minnesota’s focus now shifts to adding a right-handed reliever to work the late innings, per reports from ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez and Ken Rosenthal and Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Both indicate that the Twins have room to

  It is no surprise that pitching is the Cubs’ biggest deadline need, and Chicago has already been linked to such hurlers as Tarik Skubal, Freddy Peralta, and Reid Detmers just within the last few days.  The Cubs’ search has also included talks about such pitchers as Robbie Ray, Clay Holmes, and Emerson Hancock (according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale), and The Athletic’s Cody Stavenhagen lists the Cubs as one of the clubs “believed to have interest in” Ca

  Fans and front offices around the game are dreaming of adding Padres closer Mason Miller in a deadline blockbuster, but multiple reports Friday have cast a deal as increasingly unlikely. ESPN’s Jeff Passan tells Jake Mintz and Jordan Schusterman of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast that Padres president of baseball operations is approaching Miller inquiries with the mindset that if a team wants to pry his closer away, every prospect in that interested organization’s system needs to be in play

• Which Teams Can Make A Mason Miller Offer The Padres Will Like?

  31-07-2026 01:39 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  One of the most talked-about trade candidates this summer has been Mason Miller of the Padres. Actually lining up a trade that makes sense is a challenge for a few reasons.
  For one thing, the Padres aren’t clear sellers. A recent five-game win streak has pushed their record to 55-53. They are the top National League team outside the playoff picture. They are only 1.5 games behind the Diamondbacks and Phillies. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller is one of the most aggressive exec

  The 51-53 Padres took the first game of a pivotal series against a Wild Card competitor in Miami this evening. It’s a matchup of two spiraling clubs trying to remain in the playoff picture. The Padres have been one of the worst teams in the league for two months, while Miami is now riding a ten-game losing streak that has dropped them a few games off the Wild Card pace.

• Pirates Focused On Bullpen Ahead Of Deadline; Have Some Ability To Increase Payroll

  25-07-2026 00:36 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Pirates are looking to get back to the postseason for the first time in over a decade. Currently within a game of a playoff spot, they are going into the August 3 deadline as buyers. Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that they could make additions to the rotation or the lineup but will be focused on the bullpen. Beazley also says the front office will have the ability to add payroll but cautions that their flexibility in that department will be limited.

  The Brewers are one of the best clubs in baseball and are clear buyers. Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that the front office plans to be more aggressive than in recent years. They have already checked in on some big targets, including Tarik Skubal of the Tigers and Mason Miller of the Padres.
  Milwaukee has been competitive for most of the past decade. Assuming they make the playoffs here in 2026, that will be a postseason appearance in eight out of the past nine years. They generally don’

• Will The Padres Move Mason Miller?

  23-07-2026 03:16 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  For the last two months, Aroldis Chapman was expected to be the best reliever traded this summer. Boston’s 15-game win streak has put them in Wild Card position and probably takes him off the market. That coincided with increased chatter about the possibility of a Mason Miller blockbuster for a second straight year.
  The Padres take a 50-51 record into tonight’s game in Atlanta. They’re 2.5 games back of a Wild Card spot but have five teams to jump. The various postseason o

• Padres Discussing Wandy Peralta In Trade Talks

  22-07-2026 21:40 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  The Padres have been “actively discussing” left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta in trade talks recently, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. There’s no indication a deal is close at this time.
  Peralta, who’ll turn 35 this weekend, is playing out the third season of a four-year, $16.5MM contract. He’s posted a 2.32 ERA in 50 1/3 innings of relief so far but has done so with less convincing rate stats.
  The veteran lefty has set down just 15.5% of his opponents on s

• Padres Place Miguel Andujar On IL With Wrist Fracture

  The Padres announced that infielder/designated hitter Miguel Andujar has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist fracture. Catcher Rodolfo Durán has been recalled as the corresponding move. Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, the Padres expect Andujar to return some time in August.
  The injury occurred yesterday. As seen in this clip from Baseball Savant, a pitch from Lucas Erceg runs inside and hits Andujar on the arm. Andujar stayed in the game but presumably felt sore after,
