Padres at Trade Deadline Crossroads | San Diego Padres News
Description
The San Diego Padres are in a precarious spot heading into 2026, just 2.5 games out of the final NL wild card spot — enough to keep them alive, but not enough to justify a risky playoff gamble. With the trade deadline looming, insiders like Ken Rosenthal say they’re leaning toward selling, citing inconsistent offense and shaky pitching. Despite a recent two-out-of-three-series win streak, they’re still below .500 at 49-51. If they go all-in, they risk trading away key pieces — like closer Mason Miller, a top-tier asset they acquired last year — for a shot at a short-lived postseason run. Is that worth it? Maybe not.
