The Padres’ deadline trades have turned their MLB roster into a playoff contender, but at a steep cost: their farm system is now the weakest in baseball, with only catcher Ethan Salas cracking the Top 100. Despite a cycle of success-driven trades that keep their draft picks low, they’re still stuck with a barren pipeline—though a few promising arms like Kruz Schoolcraft and Coleman Borthwick could be the next sparks. It’s a classic win-now gamble with a future that’s looking pretty dry.
