Padres should make a strong push for A’s controllable arms
Atlanta Braves v Athletics | Justine Willard/Athletics/GettyImagesAhead of the 2025 trade deadline, the San Diego Padres need to address their starting rotation concerns. Dylan Cease and Michael King are both free agents at the conclusion of this season, all while Cease hasn't been his typical self in 2025, and King has been hurt.
San Diego has plenty of options to comb through, whether it be going after a former Cy Young winner, or talking with a team destined to be sellers by the end of next week.
One team the Friars should not overlook talking trades with is the A's, who are reportedly listening to offers on two left-handed starters in JP Sears and Jeffrey Springs.
