Padres Have 16 Games Before the Trade Deadline For Signs of a Playoff Push | Braden Surprenant Show (Full Show - July 14, 2026)

When the Padres return to play on Friday in Kansas City, there will be just 16 games left before the August 3rd Trade Deadline hits and the question remains; what do the Padres have to do to prove that they care capable of making a buy-worthy playoff push? Braden is here to try to answer that question and also try to put into perspective what a successful buying trade deadline would look like for the Padres and why you shouldn't get your hopes up for a "back page stealing" blockbuster trade. We will also get to what we missed from Dennis Lin's mailbag from Friday, take a look at how the Top 4 nations in the FIFA rankings made the World Cup semifinals and we will do our Mascot Draft for the mascots around Major League Baseball
