In fact, Jon Heyman reports that there are at least six teams who have reached out to the Padres lately: four AL East teams (the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays) plus the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets.

The Padres have discussed Dylan Cease with several clubs but also looked into acquiring Baltimore's Charlie Morton. Read why at MLB Trade Rumors.

Amaya is a gem, but the Cubs are loaded at catcher, with the reliable Carson Kelly locked in as the go-to starter and Reese McGuire as a solid backup. And lest we forget, 21-year-old phenom Moises Ballesteros is waiting in the wings.
