The San Diego Padres have been linked with Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Seth Lugo in the midst of the rotational depth struggles the team has endured. ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan gave the right-hander a 40 percent chance to be dealt by the MLB trade deadline, and have the Padres listed as a potential landing spot. The Padres are short on starting pitchers with Yu Darvish and Michael King both on the injured list without timelines to return.
