Answering your Padres questions: Pitching problems, the trade deadline and future free agents
Dennis Lin discussed the state of Pads pitching, the trade deadline and what's inside the mind of A.J. Preller during a wide-ranging live Q&A with The Athletic subscribers last Friday. Here are some highlights from that live discussion. To see answers to more Padres questions, read the full Q&A. (Questions and answers have been edited for clarity and length.) What's the likelihood and the value of trading an expiring and currently underperforming asset like Luis Arraez? Would you do it? — John C.? It doesn't seem likely. Most other teams already don't value him as much as the Padres do. Here's another question, though: Should the Padres extend a qualifying offer to Arraez this offseason? Can they afford the risk that he would accept and occupy a decent chunk of payroll? I think they would, because I think he would turn down a qualifying offer. It hasn't been a great contract season for Arraez, but he remains a three-time batting champion who is supremely confident in his abilities. Whether he'd do better than roughly $22 million on the open market is yet another question. His free agency should be fascinating. Advertisement I'm not sure if it's quantifiable, but the lineup outside of Jackson Merrill, Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. just feels … boring. Do you think they'll look to add a bit of speed/power in left field? Jarren Duran is an obvious fit, and they've shown interest in Byron Buxton in the past. Any idea of what kind of player they'd target out there? — Will H. Here's one way to quantify things: You listed the Padres' three best hitters. If you take them out of an offense that entered Sunday ranked 23rd with a .694 OPS, well, yeah, you might not want to keep watching the Padres. Duran remains at or near the top of San Diego's list of trade targets, but unless the Red Sox really fall out of their wild-card chase, they may not have much incentive to move him next month. Buxton probably isn't going anywhere. In the meantime, here's another number you may have seen: Padres left fielders went into this week with a .618 OPS. That ranked 26th in the majors. They need a left fielder who's far closer to league average (.716 OPS). Even someone who's slightly under that mark could be a significant upgrade. And someone who can hit lefties would be preferable. An outfielder like Luis Robert Jr., Taylor Ward, Cedric Mullins, Adolis García or Austin Hays, who just came off the injured list, could make sense. I suspect A.J. Preller prefers a toolsier player. That's why I think guys like Robert and García are closer to the top of the list. I know it's impossible to predict Preller, but does the organization seem more likely to chase a low-cost rental or a controllable star in left field? — Raphael C. History says he'd love a star. The current market indicates there may not be many stars available. The Rafael Devers trade was a unique situation, and with 12 playoff spots available, most teams still feel like they have a chance of contending. Advertisement What do you think is the Padres' assessment of Gavin Sheets in left field? Would they keep him in left and go for a designated hitter like Marcell Ozuna? — Terrence D. Sheets has looked better out there since his face-first crash, but the Padres would much prefer to add a left fielder and move Sheets back to being a DH and occasional first baseman. They need him to stay healthy, and in addition to another bat or two, they could use a defensive upgrade over Sheets in left. With the depth of the farm system being hard-throwing, maybe slightly wild relief pitchers, do you suspect Preller might trade away some of the bullpen arms to cut/shave future payroll at the deadline? — Alan K. You can probably bank on a reliever or two being moved. As you alluded to, organizational bullpen depth is the Padres' strength. That said, their higher-leverage arms have been overworked, so I don't see them subtracting too much from the big-league roster. But yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens with the likes of Bradgley Rodriguez, Eduarniel Núñez and Tyson Neighbors. They could be relatively close to helping the Padres. They could also be relatively close to helping other teams. The Giants have elite pitching, including Logan Webb, who has logged more innings than any other National League West starting pitcher, which means fewer innings on their elite bullpen. Given that the Padres and Giants have similar records, how sustainable is it going forward if Michael King and Yu Darvish do not return soon? — Cm C. Not sustainable. Randy Vásquez, Stephen Kolek and Ryan Bergert have done a commendable job, but they're younger pitchers who could hit a wall at some point. Meanwhile, the Padres need deeper outings from their starters. The bullpen has done a ton of heavy lifting in close games. At some point, that won't be sustainable, either. Advertisement What are the chances the Padres retain some of the trio of arms (King, Dylan Cease and Robert Suarez) entering free agency this fall? — Patrick S. Cease is a Scott Boras client, and every team could use him. In other words, he's almost certainly gone. King's weird injury might have increased the chances of his staying, but for now, I'd still put those odds at well under 50 percent. Suarez will be 35 next season, and he's had elbow issues in the past. The Padres would be wise to let him explore free agency. Given Suarez's recent struggles and Adrian Morejon's emergence as a legitimate high-leverage option, has there been any internal discussion about potentially giving Morejon more late-inning save opportunities moving forward? — Alexis C. He already appears to be trending in this direction. Seven of his past 11 appearances have come in the eighth inning or later. The Padres aren't going to be over-reactionary after a few blips from Suarez, but Morejon has shown he's a ready alternative in the ninth. He hasn't allowed an earned run since May 17, and his underlying metrics are the best in the bullpen. (Photo of Dylan Cease: Orlando Ramirez / Getty Images)

'Outrageous' Phillies Trade Idea Brings $100 Million All-Star to Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Phillies are in a tight race at the top of the National League East with the New York Mets. The Phillies could look to make a blockbuster trade in order to address their need in the outfield and better their chances of winning the division. Nick Castellanos has been a consistent producer for the Phillies at the plate this year. Brandon Marsh is starting to play better as well. However, Max Kepler and Johan Rojas are both replaceable. In what could be a rather weak trade deadline for buyers, Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller proposed this "outrageous" trade that would bring Byron Buxton from the Minnesota Twins to the Phillies. Phillies receive: OF Byron Buxton Twins receive: RHP Mick Abel (Phillies No. 5 prospect) and C Alirio Ferrebus (Phillies No. 26 prospect) CINCINNATI, OHIO - JUNE 19: Byron Buxton #25 of the Minnesota Twins celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the first inning of the game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park... CINCINNATI, OHIO - JUNE 19: Byron Buxton #25 of the Minnesota Twins celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the first inning of the game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on June 19, 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio. More LaurenAbel is already in the big leagues and has shown he can be a good player in the rotation. However, when Aaron Nola returns from the injured list, there may not be a spot for Abel to help the Phillies this year. Trading him would still be a risky and aggressive move. However, the Phillies have their top prospect, Andrew Painter, in Triple-A, and he could still be a key player in their rotation in the future. Buxton is an All-Star and Platinum Glove Award winner. He is signed to a seven-year, $100 million deal through 2028. He is slashing .286/.352/.575 with 19 home runs this year. He could be a bigger help to the Phillies this season than Abel down the stretch. Buxton would also bring stability to an outfield that could lose Castellanos after next season, but the Twins are still in position to make a postseason run. However, if they think the chances are slim, they could be open to adding a player like Abel in exchange for Buxton, who could be a key part of their rotation for years to come. Buxton has dealt with injuries throughout his career, and the Twins may be ready to move on from his $100 million contract.

Phillies takeaways: Relief for bullpen, offseason additions underwhelm, and a late-season move?
Sunday brought a series-clinching win for the Phillies and, with it, a brief bullpen rollercoaster. Orion Kerkering entered to face pinch hitter Drake Baldwin and the top of the Atlanta Braves' lineup in the eighth. He struck out Ronald Acuña Jr. on four pitches, the final fastball sending the star right fielder swinging and missing in the zone. A single from Matt Olson aside, Kerkering shined as he struck out three on a combined 13 pitches. Advertisement Then came lefty Matt Strahm in the ninth, whose trouble started with a 91.9 mph fastball near the center of the zone. Ozzie Albies lashed the pitch for a one-out single to left. Two batters later, Strahm walked Eli White on six pitches. A wild pitch sent Albies to third, putting runners on the corners with two outs. The Braves did not complete the comeback, but it was within arm's reach. So was a difficult day for the Phillies' bullpen, which escaped unscathed in a 2-1 win. Strahm's velocity is up, but his stuff has not played well at times, as he's allowed four runs (two earned) and eight hits while striking out nine across 10 innings in June. His exit velocity is up against everything but his slider in June, while his whiff rate is down on all of his pitches. Jordan Romano started the month pitching the ninth before giving up walk-offs against the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates. Kerkering has been the main positive of late in the back of the bullpen, flourishing since moving into the closer-by-committee operation in Miami two weeks ago. He has one earned run and two saves across 11 innings in June. But one excelling high-leverage reliever is not enough for a team with World Series aspirations, which is already without José Alvarado because of his 80-game PED suspension. Ahead of the trade deadline, the president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski, told The Athletic that the back end of the bullpen is the Phillies' 'main focus.' There is one month to go until then. The Phillies just need to make it there, then make the right moves. Saturday was not the first time this season Romano has hunched over, watching his bad pitch become someone else's very good night. It was not the first time this month; Romano yielded walk-offs to Pittsburgh and Toronto and saw helmets fly, the opposing dugout swarm the field. The right-hander, signed to a one-year, $8.5 million deal in December, was called 'one of the best back-end, high-leverage guys in baseball' by Dombrowski at the time. But the former Blue Jays closer, coming off an elbow injury in 2024, has been shaky more often than not. Advertisement He was one of three key offseason acquisitions who appeared in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Braves, with left fielder Max Kepler ($10 million, one-year deal) and reliever Joe Ross ($4 million, one year) being the others. Their impact was mild at best, loss-provoking at worst. The same could be said about the trio's combined impact in June: • Kepler did not reach base on Saturday, striking out twice. He took issue with being platooned multiple times during the past week, telling The Athletic: 'I was told I was going to be the starting left fielder.' • Ross struck out two but gave up a single and walked one. He's allowed eight earned runs across 10 innings this month, including three runs against the Mets on June 21 after taking over with a 4-3 deficit. • Romano gave up a grand slam to Atlanta's Sean Murphy — the catcher's first home run since May 29 — to hand the Braves a commanding lead. Once a key part of the Phillies' closer-by-committee operation, Romano has pitched in the seventh during his past five outings. This was the first winter the Phillies did not sign a player to a multi-year deal since the 2016-17 offseason. The combined $22.5 million spent on Kepler (0.2 WAR), Ross (minus-0.3 WAR) and Romano (0.1 WAR) has added up to about zero wins above replacement, according to FanGraphs. All three players were injured at some point in 2024. There was some risk, some reward to signing them in the offseason. But, as of June, it appears the risks outweigh the group's collective upside. The upcoming schedule poses more tests, particularly for Kepler. The left fielder is batting .184 across his past 10 games with a .542 OPS. Against the Braves, Kepler went 2-for-11 with three walks. He has primarily seen playing time against righties and will continue to as the Phillies are scheduled to face three consecutive Padres righties to start this week. Advertisement Should the Phillies look for an outfield shakeup? No. 3 prospect Justin Crawford, who has played some left field, is slashing .344/.434/.469 in 76 plate appearances with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in June. Sure, Ranger Suárez has been a reliever before. But he continues to look like he shouldn't be moved to the bullpen come postseason (or part of any late-season adjustments), striking out eight across seven innings on Sunday. He has the best ERA (1.19) in the majors among healthy pitchers since his second start of the year on May 10. Suárez is deceptive. His cutter and changeup combined for 10 whiffs on Sunday. And he's healthy, which he's said is most important to his continued success. It is difficult to imagine Suárez, should he pitch like this into September, being moved to the bullpen. Dombrowski told The Athletic he does not anticipate moving a starter to the bullpen anytime soon. Any changes would likely come late in the regular season or during the postseason, he said. Those dates are far away. But there's an early candidate for the move: Jesús Luzardo, who has stumbled somewhat since recovering from potentially tipping and surrendering 20 runs to the Cubs and Brewers. Luzardo has worked high pitch counts early in recent outings; it was 13 after the first inning on Saturday, which jumped to 44 after facing six batters in the second. His pitch count sat at 35 after the second inning against the Marlins on June 17, when he also went five innings. Luzardo's stuff remains sharp. His sweeper is a strong out pitch. His changeup drew five whiffs on nine swings Saturday. He pitched out of the bullpen at times with Oakland, making his postseason debut in relief in October 2019. He allowed one hit and walked two across three innings. There is plenty of time to make these decisions. But, for now, Luzardo looks like a worthwhile candidate for high-leverage bullpen situations later. (Top photo of Matt Strahm: Mady Mertens / Imagn Images)
