SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 17 – The Padres seek a left fielder to boost their playoff chances amid a scarce outfield market, with the team holding a 52-44 record this season, sources say.

- With Chicago holding little leverage, any deal could be cost-effective, but Robert’s nosedive raises future questions even as hidden potential remains.
