Pitcher Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays is reportedly on the trade block. What would it take for the San Diego Padres to acquire him?

With MLB’s “virtual” Winter Meetings looming, one name that figures to come up a lot is Blake Snell, the Tampa Bay Rays southpaw who is reportedly on the trade block. The San Diego Padres could use a starting pitcher with Mike Clevinger out for the 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery. The Padres still have a strong farm system, so they have come up a lot in Snell rumors.
