The San Diego Padres completed a trade for right-hander Casey Mize from the Detroit Tigers on August 3, 2026. Mize, who is enjoying a successful season with a 2.70 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 86 2/3 innings, joins the Padres shortly after they secured former Cy Young winner Robbie Ray. The deal demonstrates the Padres' commitment to enhancing their starting rotation as they chase a playoff spot, currently sitting one game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks. Mize, a former No. 1 overall pick, is set to become a free agent after the season, marking him as a high-risk, high-reward addition for San Diego.
