San Diego Padres superstar Manny Machado rips into a St. Louis Cardinals coach, benches clear once again, and some major trade deadline updates are given.

The San Diego Padres need to add an outfielder ahead of the trade deadline, and they could look to add one of the better buy-low targets on the open market.

The San Diego Padres are in the thick of a tight NL Wild Card race, and the Baltimore Orioles could provide them with the missing piece.

The Athletic's Jim Bowden has proposed a three-team trade deal that would send Boston Red Sox left fielder Jarren Duran to the San Diego Padres ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.

The Padres are expected to target Miami Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara and Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen. What these two have in common is that both are former aces, struggling this season, who could be complicated trade deadline targets.

San Diego Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller has made it clear he wants to acquire more offense before the trade deadline.

The Padres may not get the outfielder they initially wanted ahead of the trade deadline. They may want to settle for Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano.

As the recipients of such a start, the Padres might've seen enough to swing a deal. The Padres are interested in landing Alcantara, and with Gomez's report, the two-time All-Star is trending towards being traded, which is good news for the Padres.
