This move makes too much sense. While Atlanta has said he isn't available, that doesn't mean the Padres can't put in an offer they can't refuse.
As the July 31 trade deadline inches ever closer, the Padres sit at 58–49 and hold down the last remaining Wild Card spot.

A catcher is almost never going to be your best hitter and likely won’t even be one of your best three.
