Padres Notes: Blockbuster Trade Idea, Fernando Tatis Sits, Yu Darvish Latest

In this story:
The San Diego Padres lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-3, on Saturday in walk-off fashion despite a ninth-inning rally. They fell to 36-27 on the year.
Additionally, the Friars have been linked to a former MVP to help address a major need on defense. The five-time MVP could provide a spark on offense as well as adding depth in a key position.
Unfortunately, during the loss to Milwaukee, Fernando Tatis Jr. wasn't present. The superstar had a regularly scheduled off day, but hopefully a bit of a rest can help address his recent slump.
Finally, veteran Yu Darvish still has no return timeline to the mound. The right-hander has been out of commission since spring training and is still looking to make his 2025 debut.
