One week to trade deadline, Padres offense make a case, too little too late?

The MLB trade deadline is one week away. Should the San Diego Padres be buyers or sellers? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss what, if anything has changed after the Padres sweep the Marlins to finish a 5-5 road trip.

The two discuss a huge moment from Manny Machado versus the Marlins, Jackson Merrill's hot bat, and if the production from two of their bigger stars will be enough to sway President of baseball ops A.J. Preller on his deadline decision.

The duo discuss Craig Stammen's candor on the thin Padres rotation, the latest rumors surrounding Michael King, and why the Padres are clear sellers if they move their only reliable starting pitcher.

Marty and Darren address Bob Nightengale's report on Mason Miller reportedly staying put and what he means by Preller's "different tone" when he speaks to his rival GM's on trade proposals. The two break down the wild card race, the Padres having the second easiest strength of schedule, and yes, a huge upcoming homestand versus the lowly Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants.

Could Nick Pivetta and Joe Musgrove return in time to make a difference? Marty and Darren jump into their latest rehab outings in Arizona, Musgrove's comments on pitching again this season, and what kind of value the scorching Ty France could have at the deadline.
