## Resource

The Padres’ trade deadline is turning into a make-or-break moment as GM A.J. Preller shifts from his usual aggressive buying stance to a cautious, possibly selling position. With a .500 record and fading playoff hopes, the team faces a brutal road trip that could define their fate. Key starters are still sidelined, and without a clear path to contention, Preller may be forced to trade valuable assets — even top prospect Ethan Salas — to rebuild. The next few weeks will reveal whether they’ll buy to compete or sell to reset their future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
