Padres at Trade Deadline Crossroads | San Diego Padres News

The Padres are teetering on the edge of playoff contention, having lost 11 of their last 14 games, and their trade deadline strategy remains a mystery. GM A.J. Preller admits they’re still weighing whether to buy, sell, or stay put—decisions that hinge on their next 10-game road trip against playoff contenders. Despite the struggles, Preller stands by first-year manager Craig Stammen and insists roster construction is part of the solution. Star closer Mason Miller, on track for an All-Star nod and a potential trade target, remains a key piece—with Preller reaffirming the team’s long-term commitment to him. The coming weeks will define their path forward. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
