Padres Push for Left-Handed Bats as Deadline Approaches
The San Diego Padres are actively seeking a left-handed bat before the trade deadline, with reported discussions involving Trevor Larnach of Minnesota and potential targets Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar of St. Louis. They’ve already added left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray from the Giants but could use another reliable lefty in the lineup behind Ray and Michael King, with Gavin Sheets and rookie Jase Bowen in the mix in left field.
