Padres to Seek Pitching Help in Trade Market #

The San Diego Padres are actively exploring the trade market for pitching help. The team had a successful stretch in the past month without two key starting pitchers, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove, winning 21 out of 33 games. They are now looking to strengthen their rotation depth as Darvish and Musgrove face injuries again. The Padres have reached out to other teams regarding potential trades, including the Miami Marlins and the Chicago White Sox. They have demonstrated a contact-oriented approach to their offense, but with some key players struggling, adding pitching depth becomes crucial for their success.
