Adrian Morejon is primed to be traded by the Padres before the deadline, with rumors swirling that he’ll be gone by August 3rd. A high-octane reliever with elite stuff and a solid 2024 season—63 strikeouts, a stellar ERA since May 10th—he’s drawing serious interest as a rental. At just under $4M, his value is sky-high, and he could be the top reliever moved this year. The Padres, clinging to a 53-53 record in the wild-card race, need pitching and may trade him for immediate help or future assets. After eight seasons with the team—including an All-Star nod in 2025—Morejon’s departure could reshape their roster, but the front office is weighing options before pulling the trigger.
