Padres submitted waiver claim for outfielder Luis Robert Jr

The San Diego Padres were among the clubs that attempted to acquire Luis Robert Jr. when he was placed on waivers last week. According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego submitted a claim for the outfielder but did not succeed in the pursuit. Robert Jr. ultimately landed with the Baltimore Orioles after the waiver process concluded. The Padres sought to bolster their roster via the waiver wire as the season moves into September. The claim confirms the San Diego front office was active in evaluating available talent during the recent transition period.
