The San Diego Padres are looking to salvage a very underwhemling offseason.

A way that they can bring in new talent while also balance a budget amid an ownership dispute is via trading some of their talented pieces on the roster. Michael King is coming off an excellent year and has been linked to a National League contender in a trade idea that has the Friars collect an up-and-coming outfielder and top pitching prospect.

Another talented Padres pitcher on the reported trading block is Dylan Cease. The Athletic suggests a move that sends the right-hander to a contending American League franchise.

To further add to a talented roster and end the offseason with a worthwhile major league addition, the Padres are predicted to land a former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder to try and replace Jurickson Profar's presence. This former World Series champion would be a seamless fit to the Friars lineup and bring his winning ways to Petco Park.
