The San Diego Padres traded for pitcher Casey Mize and infielder Gage Workman from the Detroit Tigers on August 3, 2026. The Padres sent left-handed pitcher Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf to Detroit in exchange. This move follows a previous acquisition of Robbie Ray, aiming to bolster their rotation for a playoff push. Mize, who has a 2.70 ERA, is expected to contribute significantly in the final months of the regular season, though the cost for a two-month rental raises questions about its overall value.
