The Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres are reportedly in the mix for a potential trade involving Boston Red Sox catcher Willson Contreras, who is under contract for two more years. Contreras has performed well this season, posting an OPS over 1.000 at Fenway Park. The Red Sox may consider trading him due to their long-term plans, but his contract status and no-trade clause complicate matters. With both teams looking to improve their rosters, a deal could benefit either side ahead of the trade deadline.
