“Luis Robert Jr. is one of the main trade candidates to watch today,” Mark Feinsand said in a post. “The Mets and Phillies remain in the mix to some extent, but according to a source, the Padres have emerged as the team to watch. San Diego seems motivated to add an outfielder today.”

The San Diego Padres have joined the group of teams that are looking to add Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

In need of bullpen help, the Mets acquired Tyler Rogers in a trade with the Giants ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. The chaos is picking up with less than 24 hours left before the deadline, with several teams making last-minute decisions on whether to be buyers, sellers or some hybrid combination of the two.

Still, with a glut of young outfielders in the system, Duran has been attached to trade rumors for weeks. As for Robert, while the White Sox are seeking a “ top prospect ” for him in a trade, as of yet the Padres have called Chicago’s bluff on that request.
