Trade Deadline Outlook: San Diego Padres
The Padres might have the widest range of outcomes this deadline. They have the sport’s most unpredictable baseball operations leader.

Nationals Reportedly Considering Keeping Foster Griffin
TODAY: “Extension talks…fizzled quickly” between Griffin and the Nationals, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

The White Sox endured 101 losses in 2023, 121 losses in 2024 (setting a modern record), and 102 losses in 2025.

The South […]
