Padres Executing Another Trade, Dealing for Brandon Drury, per Report

It’s been a busy day for San Diego.

Shortly after swinging one of the biggest trades in league history for Juan Soto and Josh Bell—and one day after landing All-Star closer Josh Hader from the Brewers—the Padres are reportedly acquiring infielder Brandon Drury from the Reds, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The return for Cincinnati is not yet known.

Drury, who turns 30 in August, has enjoyed a breakout season for the Reds this year. Through 92 games, he’s batted .274/.335/.520 with a career-high 20 home runs. He’s spent most of his time at third base, though has played every other infield spot as well and adds more versatility to a loaded Padres roster.
