The Padres are still making moves.

Brandon Drury was traded to the San Diego Padres by the Cincinnati Reds. The deadline is ate time.

Details of the deal were initially reported by Ken Rosenthal and C. Trent Rosecrans.

He was the sixth-ranked prospect in the Padres' farm system. He is batting.243 with two homers, 11 runs, and five stolen bases in 112 minor league games.

The headline is a move by the Padres.

They got four-time All-Star closer Josh Hader in a trade. As San Diego tries to close the gap with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West, the addition of that would have been significant.

It was a big deal Tuesday when they landed Juan Soto and Josh Bell in a trade with the Nationals. The Nationals received C.J.Abrams, pitcher MacKenzie Gore, outfielder Robert Hassell III, outfielder James Wood, pitcher Jarlin Susana, and first baseman/DHluke Voit.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported that Eric Hosmer was not included in the initial trade. The Padres traded Hosmer to Boston, according to Passan.

He's in the middle of a career-best season, but he isn't as well known as Hader, Bell or Soto.

He was a bright spot for the Reds, as he slashed.270/.335/.520 with 20 home runs and 59RBI in 92 games. The veteran has played for a number of teams but never hit more than 16 home runs in a single season.

As the Padres look to mix-and- match their now loaded lineup, they will be able to use Drury all across the infield as he is currently in the middle of a playoff race.
