At the 2025 MLB trade deadline, two things did not happen for San Diego, but one of them is exactly what Padres fans wanted. San Diego fans wished that their team would have acquired Jarren Duran from the Boston Red Sox, but that wound up not happening. No big deal.
The one thing that remained stagnant was Dylan Cease getting traded. The right-hander had been tied to tons of trading rumors since the offseason, but AJ Preller and his front office staff ultimately decided to keep him on the team for the rest of the 2025 season.
