The San Diego Padres are nearing a deal to acquire second baseman Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins for a package of three prospects and a relief pitcher, a source familiar with the deal told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The trade is pending a medical review but is expected to be finalized soon.
Arraez, 27, won the 2022 AL batting title for Minnesota, hitting .316 with eight homers and 49 RBIs, then was traded to Miami in January 2023. He captured the NL batting title last year with the Marlins, setting career highs with a .354 average, 10 homers and 69 RBIs.
He's hitting .299 with five RBIs so far this year.
