Today is the trading deadline and the Baltimore Orioles have offered us a decent second baseman for P Angel Gaspar. Why they think we need a second baseman is beyond me. We are not going to make any more trades this season.

The Padres made a trade with Cleveland, acquiring RP Oscar Soto (30-R) for a mediocre catching prospect. Soto has a 3.18 ERA in 28.1 IP.

San Diego Padres (38-29 .567 3 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (40-25 .615 in 1st place in the PCL West)

SD: Javier Reyna (33-R 6-4 3.16) vs. POR: Angel Gaspar (23-R 2-2 3.75) Rookie

We are 1-1 when facing Reyna this season, but have scored 10 runs in 11.1 innings off him.

Gaspar has had back-to-back starts where he allowed 2 runs in 7.2 innings. He only got 1 win, though. Last time out, he set the Beaver record with 10 K's and only walked 1.
