The San Diego Padres are trying to chase down the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL West title, and the Padres look to upgrade at the MLB trade deadline, the Chicago White Sox have some players available who could help them do that.
The Padres have needs in the outfield, behind the plate, and in the starting rotation, according to MLB.com's Padres beat writer AJ Cassavell.
The White Sox just so happen to have outfielders Luis Robert Jr., Mike Tauchman, Austin Slater, and Michael A. Taylor available.
Catcher Korey Lee is expendable to the organization with the emergence of Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel.
