As the MLB trade deadline approaches, teams must decide whether to buy or sell, with the San Diego Padres emerging as potential buyers. Currently one game behind the Cardinals in the wild card race, the Padres are exploring options to improve their left field situation. The Chicago White Sox, likely sellers facing a dismal season, could trade outfielder Andrew Benintendi to San Diego, addressing the Padres' pressing need for a reliable left fielder. This trade could enhance the Padres' chances of playoff contention.
Left field has been an adventure for the Padres, with nine players combining for a sub-.600 OPS, underscoring the team's dire need for improvement in that position.
The Padres could grab Andrew Benintendi from the White Sox, which makes sense as Chicago is likely to sell, being last in the AL.
