Padres eye Angels' Jo Adell to boost power ahead of trade deadline

The San Diego Padres are considering a trade for Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell as they seek to bolster their offense before the trade deadline. With a team OPS ranked last in the league and only 78 home runs, San Diego president of baseball operations A.J. Preller is focused on adding more power to the lineup. Adell, who hit a career-high 37 home runs in 2025, could be a cost-effective option compared to other trade targets. However, acquiring him may require the Padres to part with additional prospects due to Adell's control. Discussions are expected to ramp up as the deadline approaches.
