The New York Mets and San Diego Padres are reportedly in trade discussions despite the respective stars of each team being left out of negotiations.

The San Diego Padres have been part of various trade rumors since the MLB Winter Meetings. There has not been nearly as much conversation or coverage about their free-agent targets, if there are any.

As of now, the Padres are reportedly listening to trade offers on a few of their star players, including closer Mason Miller and starter Nick Pivetta. But the Padres could also look to add some talent at the big league level, including a talented outfielder.

Five months after giving up a huge cache of players to acquire Mason Miller, the San Diego Padres are at least fielding interest in their star closer.
