Padres star SS Fernando Tatis Jr. taking live batting practice Monday

The San Diego Padres have arguably been involved in the most trade rumors among any of the 30 MLB teams leading up to Tuesday's deadline. In non-trade news, they've also made headlines by officially inking All-Star starting pitcher Joe Musgrove to a five-year, $100 million contract extension on Monday.

The Friars apparent interest in two-time All-Stars Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani doesn't even include Monday afternoon's reported blockbuster deal to land star closer Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers.

One in-house addition that San Diego could be seeing back on the field for the first time this season in the near-future is 2021 All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. The slugging shortstop is making a big step Monday in his eventual return from offseason wrist surgery.
