Pitcher Robbie Ray might be moving 500 miles south down the California coast. The San Diego Padres are working on a trade to get the left-hander from the San Francisco Giants, ESPN's Jeff Passan reports.
Ray, 34, has made 21 starts (in 22 appearances) for the Giants this season, compiling a 3.08 ERA, 10-6 record and 107 strikeouts in 122 2/3 innings. He's on pace to pitch more than 180 innings for the fourth time in the past six seasons.
The 13-year veteran was in his third season with the Giants after being traded by the Seattle Mariners in 2024. He's in the final year of five-year, $115 million contract he signed in free agency.
In return for Ray, the Giants will receive right-hander Miguel Mendez and shortstop Joniel Hernandez, according to The Athletic's Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal. Mendez was ranked as the Padres' No. 4 prospect by MLB.com and pitching in Double-A. Hernandez, the organization's No. 9 minor-leaguer, is playing for San Diego's Dominican Summer League team.
Moving Ray to the Padres is the third deal the Giants have made before the trade deadline.
