It’s a top-heavy roster with a couple high-impact trade chips, a bunch of bloated contracts, and a clear need for controllable starting pitching. San Diego started strong despite a punchless offense and a lack of depth in an injury-riddled rotation. While the Padres’ star hitters have gotten hot after dramatically underwhelming starts, San Diego’s pitching has now completely crumbled. We’ll make an exception in the Padres’ case, as their deadline hinges so much around whether to shop Mason Miller. The Padres would only move him for a monster return, almost certainly a bigger prospect package than any other player will net this deadline season.
