• Padres Release Jose Miranda

  21-05-2026 04:59 via mlbtraderumors.com
  The Padres released corner infielder Jose Miranda from his minor league contract. The move was announced by San Diego’s Triple-A affiliate this afternoon.
  Miranda signed with the Friars in mid-December. He had a big spring and legitimately seemed to be in consideration for an Opening Day roster spot. The Padres opted for Ty France in that role instead, assigning Miranda to Triple-A. France has certainly rewarded their faith, hitting .278 with four homers among nine extra-base knocks i

• 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

• Cubs Interested In Ray, Holmes, Hancock, Mize, Bullpen Help

  01-08-2026 18:40 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  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

• Padres, Diamondbacks Scouting Freddy Peralta

  The list of teams monitoring Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta now includes the Padres and Diamondbacks. Both clubs had scouts at Citi Field when Peralta faced the Dodgers on Sunday, per Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Rays, Brewers, and Phillies are among the teams known to also be in on Peralta.
  Manager Andy Green told reporters on Thursday, including Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, that Peralta will make his scheduled start tomorrow (unless he’s dealt before then). It’ll be his final s

• 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

  25-07-2026 04:25 via mlbtraderumors.com
  
  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.
  Every game is pivotal this time of year for the bubble teams, whose front offices are weighing whether to prioritize upgr

• 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.

• Brewers Have Checked In On Tarik Skubal, Mason Miller

  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

  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,

  Like many teams, the Padres aren’t firmly in buyer or seller status as the August 3 deadline approaches. They are 48-48 and 3.5 games back of a playoff spot in the National League. Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune writes that people in the organization are saying the club’s performance after the All-Star Break will determine whether they buy or sell.

  The Padres have released infielder Pablo Reyes from his minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He is now a free agent and is eligible to sign with any club in the league.
  Reyes, 32, signed a minor league deal with the Padres in the offseason. He has been performing quite well and the Padres haven’t been getting a lot of production from their big league infield, so it’s possible that Reyes triggered a July 1st opt-out in his deal.
  He has appeared in 56 Tr

  The Padres placed setup man Jason Adam on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 30, with a shoulder strain. Germán Márquez came back from his own IL stint to replace him on the pitching staff.
  Adam hits the IL for a second time this season. The All-Star righty was delayed ever so slightly as he finished his rehab from last year’s season-ending quad surgery. Adam’s 2.51 earned run average would suggest he’s back to his usual form, but his underlyin
