This year's MLB fire is short, so your gear will be negotiated before the final negotiation period, July 30th.
Another deal has been announced between the Tampa Bay Rays and the San Diego Padres, as the Rays continue to sell some of their biggest assets, despite their search for the AL Wild Card.
FanSided's Robert Murray was the first to report that the Padres will acquire outfielder Jason Adam from the Rays, with other sources confirming that prospects Dylan Lesko, Homer Bush Jr. and J.D. Gonzalez will go to Tampa without a return package.

Adam jumped into the league before exploding with the Rays and has been one of the most dominant players in baseball the past three years at a time.
He made 170 relief appearances over three years and posted a combined ERA of 2.30 in 164.2 innings during that span.
The 32-year-old currently has an ERA of 2.49 this season and will certainly start at the back of a bullpen that is sometimes scheduled to step into the hole ahead of the incoming Robert Suarez.
But the most beneficial thing for the Padres is Adam's loss of two more seasons of refereeing and remaining under team control for very little money until 2026.
Adam could immediately step in as a starter alongside Suarez and would form a strong backline alongside Yuki Matsui and Jeremiah Estrada.
San Diego is currently on a 7-game winning streak and is starting to put some pressure on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the top spot in the NL West.
the next:
The Padres finished second in No-Hitter in the 2024 season.
