The San Diego Padres acquire veteran left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants in a deadline trade, multiple reports say. Ray, 34, has been a steady part of San Francisco’s rotation this season, posting a 3.08 ERA over 122 2/3 innings. One report lists his line as 10–6 with 107 strikeouts. The Padres, who are in a playoff chase, make the move after a strong stretch of recent wins that places them within reach of the National League wild-card position. San Diego sends prospects to San Francisco: right-hander Miguel Mendez and shortstop Joniel Hernandez, who is described as 17 years old. Ray is a former Cy Young Award winner and is expected to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the current season, according to one report. The deal is presented as an additional attempt by San Diego to strengthen its starting pitching as it seeks a postseason berth.

1 hour agoThe San Diego Padres acquired veteran left-hander Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants on Monday in a deadline trade for two prospects. The Padres (58-54) have won eight of nine to move one game back of the final NL wild-card playoff position, and this latest surge in their up-and-down season prompted general manager A.J. Preller to trade yet another chunk of his severely depleted farm system for another chance to win now. San Diego gave up right-hander Miguel Mendez and 17-year-old shortstop Joniel Hernandez for the 34-year-old Ray, a former Cy Young Award winner who will be an unrestricted free agent this winter.
