After Thursday's 4-0 shutout loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, the San Diego Padres sit 6.5 games back from a Wild Card spot and 10.0 games back in the NL West, potentially making them a seller at the August 1 trade deadline.

Pitcher and trade rumor subject Blake Snell hopes they won't be.

"I'd rather just stay here and see what happens," Snell said Thursday, according to The Athletic's Dennis Lin. "I'd rather finish this year here and see what happens."

Snell struggled with seven walks in Thursday's loss but has made himself an attractive trade target with a hot streak over the past month.
