TRADE DEADLINE: 4 TinCaps were traded earlier this week by the Padres. In Monday's trade for Brewers closer Josh Hader, starter Robert Gasser was sent to Milwaukee. Tuesday, outfielder Robert Hassell III was dealt to Washington in a deal to bring Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego. Hassell was San Diego's top-rated prospect before being dealt. Outfielder Corey Rosier and infielder Max Ferguson were traded to Boston later Tuesday.
