San Diego, CA, August 3, 2026 —
The San Diego Padres have strengthened their pitching staff by acquiring left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants. The move comes ahead of the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline.
Ray, a recipient of the Cy Young Award in the past, is expected to provide a significant boost to the Padres’ starting rotation. The team’s pitching depth has been a point of concern this season, and Ray’s addition aims to address that.
In exchange for Ray, the Padres sent two minor league prospects to the Giants. These players are pitcher Miguel Mendez and shortstop Joniel Hernandez. Further details regarding the specific terms of the trade were not immediately available.
