Padres Notes: Trade Deadline Plans Revealed, All-Star Linked to SD, Near No-Hitter

The San Diego Padres lost to the Cincinnati Reds, 8-1, on Saturday evening and were dangerously close to being the victims of the first no-hitter in MLB this year. The Friars fell to 44-37 after breaking up the no-no in the ninth.

Additionally, the Padres are seen as a team that is set to make some noise ahead of the trade deadline, but with just over a month to go, San Diego has yet to make a deal. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller spoke on his team's intentions for the next month.

One of those would-be moves could be for a Cy Young award winning pitcher. The Friars have been named a 'best fit' for the All-Star as the potential blockbuster trade would make an already dangerous pitching rotation that much more formidable.
