The Padres are 52-44 as the MLB hits the All-Star Break and the second half of the season preparations start.

The MLB trade deadline approaches at the end of the month and shortstop Xander Bogaerts is hoping that the front office gets some reinforcements for the team.

One of the potential additions might be a $13 million pitcher who is struggling on a team, but could provide some solid innings for a banged-up rotation.

In other news, the Padres selected left-handed Kruz Schoolcraft with the No. 25 pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, who projects as an interesting two-way prospect, and followed it up with a bevy of picks over the next 19 rounds. Click here for all of San Diego's picks.
