Padres Add Ray and Mize, Keep Bullpen Intact at Deadline

Padres Add Ray and Mize, Keep Bullpen Intact at Deadline

Author: NBC 7 San Diego August 4, 2026 Duration: 25:39

The Padres addressed their biggest need by adding a familiar face. Robbie Ray just shoved at Petco Park, and has been red hot. Then just before the buzzer A.J. Preller brought Casey Mize to town. Both are having strong seasons, and join a rotation in dire need of reinforcements. Derek and Darnay discuss the additions, who it cost to get them - as well as the players who are sticking around for a playoff push.
