The Athletic has live coverage of the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline.Did the San Diego Padres shut down a recent trade offer from the New York Yankees, who reportedly dangled right-handed starting pitcher Will Warren for impact reliever left-hander Adrian Morejon?Not so, said a team source who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing deliberations. The Yankees never even made a Warren-for-Morejon formal offer to the Padres, as was relayed in a published report on Sunday that the source called inaccurate.Though the Yankees have checked in with the Padres on the reliever, it’s unclear what exactly the sides have discussed regarding a potential trade for Morejon, a 2025 All-Star who has become the hardest-throwing left-hander in the big leagues.Warren, 27, is under club control for four additional seasons. Morejon, also 27, is under control for less than two months, plus the postseason if his team qualifies.Things can change quickly in the final hours before the trade deadline, but as of late Sunday, team sources said San Diego appears unlikely to move Morejon, the primary set-up man for star closer Mason Miller. If he stays put through the deadline, Morejon could be a candidate to receive a qualifying offer from the Padres after this season. And with new ownership expected to be approved in the coming weeks, some in the organization hope the Padres can make a multi-year offer to keep the lefty beyond 2026.
