Padres Notes: Outfielder Doesn’t Want to Join SD, Fernando Tatis Home Run Derby Decision, Another Friars All-Star

The San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 1-0, on Tuesday evening and improved to 49-42 on the year.

In other news, an outfielder has made it clear that he would not waive his no-trade clause if a deal is struck with the Friars. The Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star is having a down year and ranks among the worst in the league in terms of Outs Above Average, so a potential deal would likely not have been a good fit anyway.

Speaking of All-Star outfielders, Fernando Tatis Jr. revealed the decision that he made for the 2025 Home Run Derby. The now-three-time All-Star has 15 home runs on the year and is slugging .441 through 89 games.

Finally, to round out the All-Star news, a Padres right-handed pitcher has been added to the National League roster. The total number of Padres who will be representing in the Midsummer Classic grows to four with the new update.
