The San Diego Padres will be in the market for a power bat at the trade deadline. The team currently sits six games out of the first-place in the NL West, and one game outside of the NL Wild Card, meaning they will need to be aggressive at the deadline to make a playoff push.
The Athletic’s Tim Britton, Aaron Gleeman, and Chad Jennings have mentioned Marcell Ozuna as a potential fit for the Padres via trade. Ozuna is in the final year of a four-year, $65 million contract with the Braves.
The Braves have struggled with consistency this season, which suggests that the team could look to sell off its expiring pieces should the team continue to slip.
