My Updated Padres Top 32 Prospects as of August 24, 2026.

Yes, most of the 2026 draft is missing, I will be updating the list after the season. Really wanted to rank Lascelles though.

Questions/comments/etc are welcomed, always down to explain the reasoning.

So a good to great left-handed bat… goes to a team full of left-handed bats??

You’re not moving Yoshida. Duran will prob get you almost nothing in return.

There’s the annual Breslow move that’s a head scratcher.

The Padres have signed RHP Ryan Weiss to a 1-year, $1.85M contract.

Gotta say, he's what Niebla looks for. Devastating FB/ST/CH/FS palette that can be platoon-neutral.

Saying it now, I think he breaks camp as SD's No. 5.

That's cute.

Not happening though.

Like others have echoed, Tatis' contract is one of the most team-friendly in baseball today, especially for a player with his talent and of his age.

TRADE PROPOSAL

Red Sox get:

- OF Fernando Tatis Jr.

Padres get:

- OF Wilyer Abreu
- OF Jarren Duran
- SP Jake Bennett
- SP Blake Wehunt (SP #13)

Padres get off the entire Tatis contract and replenish their outfield with MLB talent and some young starting pitching (1/2)

I'd be interested to see if a team can pry away Emmet Sheehan from the Dodgers and give him a consistent starting role.

In 112.1 IP in '26:
🟡4.57 ERA
🟢3.57 xERA
🟢4.27 FIP
🔥35.5% Chase

LA would get a haul, especially since he's under team control through 2030.
