If you missed it here last night, the Padres are apparently pursuing Whit Merrifield.
However, Alec Lewis of The Athletic thinks if someone was going to blow the Royals away with a trade offer for Whit, it would have happened by now:
A team has not offered the right type of deal for Merrifield, and so the Royals have not traded him. The explanation is as simple as that, and it speaks to two broader truths: If a team has yet to make the right offer for Merrifield, it’s unlikely one will surface in these next few days; and if the Royals have not received an offer they feel like they deserve for a player they value highly, they are not going to settle for less just because.
