I’m sorry to give you some bad news this morning if you’re not an Eric Hosmer fan but it looks like he isn’t going anywhere before the trade deadline. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune said on XTRA 1360 this morning "I know that he's been told that he won't be traded". Hosmer has a 0.4 fWAR with 8 home runs this season (the same number of home runs former Padre Jorge Mateo has).
San Diego Padres chairman Peter Seidler was seen speaking with Hosmer on the field prior to Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Twins.
