Padres need to be buyers, inside the clubhouse during the trade deadline

Just three games remain until the MLB trade deadline arrives, and the Padres need to be buyers.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcome in former Padres All-Star closer Heath Bell to discuss what it's like inside the clubhouse during the trade deadline, and why he often disappeared into the gym without any tv's during this time of year.

Heath discussed what it was like when the Padres attempted to trade Jake Peavy multiple times despite his no-trade clause, and the result it had inside the clubhouse. Heath also discussed why he would have given anything for a chance to pitch in the playoffs, and yes, the Padres and their fans should not take a chance at the playoffs for granted.

What's more important for the Padres to add, another bat or pitcher? Marty, Darren and Heath discuss the pitching chaos that Craig Stammen is using, how sustainable it is, and the rumors surrounding Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes.

The Padres offense has really picked up in the last month, will this sway A.J. Preller's mysterious approach at the deadline? The three debate whether the Padres will pull off a bigger move, and the merits of moving top prospect Ethan Salas.
