The San Diego Padres are gearing up for the MLB trade deadline with clear targets in mind, particularly in left field and at catcher. They are set on acquiring an outfielder with power, and Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox has emerged as a front-runner. If Duran is unavailable, Wilyer Abreu could be a viable option. Another potential target is Adolis Garcia, known for his postseason prowess and power hitting.

Duran brings notable speed and a solid batting average of .257, complemented by eight home runs and 50 RBIs this season. Abreu, a Gold Glove defender, has a .258 average with 18 home runs. Garcia, while having a lower batting average at .234, possesses significant slugging potential and is a veteran of postseason play. With San Diego facing challenges in their outfield, landing one of these players could significantly enhance their offensive capabilities, assuming they can negotiate effectively with the Red Sox and Rangers, who are unlikely to part with their key players.
