Padres Add Two Starting Pitchers at Trade Deadline
San Diego became buyers at the deadline, landing Robbie Ray and at least one other starter to bolster an injury-depleted rotation.
The Padres entered the Trade Deadline as uncertain buyers after a rocky post-All-Star stretch. San Diego ultimately acquired two starting pitchers, including Robbie Ray from San Francisco, and a utility player. The moves were made to address a rotation that had been decimated by injuries throughout the season. Fan reaction to the acquisitions was reportedly underwhelming according to a Padres Reacts survey.
