As the 2026 MLB trade deadline approaches, the San Diego Padres are reportedly exploring a trade for San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers. The Padres, currently one game out of the final Wild Card spot, have won eight of their last ten games. Devers, who has a.249 average, 22 home runs, and 61 RBIs in 111 games this season, has been in trade discussions due to his strong performance since the All-Star break. While the Padres see potential in acquiring Devers to boost their lineup against right-handed pitching, completing this trade appears challenging with the deadline imminent.
