As the trade deadline nears, those close to Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara are making it known he is bracing for himself to be traded in the next week.

Buster Olney of ESPN reported that starting pitcher Dylan Cease could be available at the MLB trade deadline. San Diego is open to moving its All-Star pitcher, especially in a market thin on front-line starters. In return, the Padres want MLB talent who can help them win in October.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Padres: Nick Pivetta (10-2, 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 127 strikeouts); Cardinals: Miles Mikolas (5-7, 5.20 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 69 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres look to end their three-game losing streak with a win against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The 19 members of San Diego’s 2025 Draft class are officially Padres. The team announced on Thursday that it has signed its entire 19-player Draft class -- plus 11 non-drafted free agents. Left-hander Kruz Schoolcraft headlined that class at No.

The San Diego Padres have a few more days to land some last-minute additions that can solve their problems in left field and at catcher.  Dodgers Nation’s Noah
