The San Diego Padres lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks via a walk-off infield hit to cap off a five-run inning from the divisional opponents. The Friars fell to 38-31 on the year.

Unfortunately, manager Mike Shildt provided yet another concerning update on right-hander Michael King. The skipper detailed that the next steps the organization wants to take are currently unknown.

Additionally, a former Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star spoke on how he almost ended up in a Padres uniform. The infielder spoke on his conversations with scouts, working out, and even batting practice under the assumption that the Friars would acquire his talents.

Finally, an MLB insider believes that Dylan Cease could be moved ahead of the trade deadline. Cease is a name whose talent and contract have put him in trade conversations since the spring, but if the right deal were to present itself, the Padres have a few areas they could upgrade down the stretch.
