The San Diego Padres have emerged as a postseason threat as we approach the halfway point of the 2020 season. If they buy at the deadline, Chaim Bloom and co. need to capitalize on their postseason hunger.

It has become a recurrent theme in trade negotiations between contending and rebuilding teams: “Prospect X is untouchable.” Teams have become increasingly reluctant to trade their top prospects in an effort to inch closer to a championship. Front offices are trying to do the same thing: construct a roster that is filled with young and talented players at below-market value contracts.
