Despite sitting in the third wild-card spot in the National League, the San Diego Padres are at least willing to listen to offers Dylan Cease prior to the July 31 trade deadline.

The Boston Red Sox have been talked about plenty ahead of the trade deadline with nothing really to show for it yet. That isn’t surprising. The trade deadline is still over a week away and will pass on July 31st.

Duran, the 2024 All-Star Game MVP, would be a nice pickup if the Padres could work out a deal. He's hitting .257 with a .749 OPS to go with his AL-leading ten triples. If the Padres could work out a deal, he'd be a great way to resolve their left field issue.
