The San Diego Padres need a left fielder, but there's another position on the roster that is arguably just as, if not more dire, of a need. With the struggles of Martin Maldanado and Elias Diaz behind the plate, the Padres need to explore the catcher market.

The San Diego Padres have a strong team that is capable of a deep postseason run if they make some key upgrades before the trade deadline on July 31. At 50-43, San Diego is five-and-a-half games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West but just a half-game back from the third NL Wild Card spot.
