San Diego Padres are exploring options to strengthen their bullpen by discussing potential acquisitions of Miami relievers Anthony Bender and Huascar Brazoban, as reported by Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal.
Bender and Brazoban are viewed as affordable targets for the Padres, with Brazoban having more years before arbitration and Bender being more expensive due to his arbitration eligibility and recent Tommy John surgery.
Miami Marlins, open to offers for their relievers like Tanner Scott, could consider parting with Brazoban who has a better performance record despite his age compared to Bender, who might require a higher asking price.
Padres are also interested in adding depth to their rotation, with reported discussions regarding Miami starter Trevor Rogers. The potential emergence of a package deal involving Rogers and a reliever from Miami opens up new trade possibilities.
