After not being a postseason participant since 2006, the San Diego Padres have it coming together in 2020.
Not only are they currently in line to be the No. 4 seed in the National League playoffs, they are reaping the benefits of having baseball's top-ranked minor league system in both 2018 and 2019 -- by trading prospects for veteran additions who could provide an edge down the stretch and in the playoffs.
And the trading deadline won't come until an hour before the Padres start the finale of their four-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Monday.
