The San Diego Padres desperately need to add an outfielder alongside Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr., and a trade might be their only option.

Manny Machado 's seventh-inning sacrifice fly led the San Diego Padres to a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night. With the defeat, the Phillies have lost four of their past five games and dropped out of first place in the National League East, falling a half-game behind the New York Mets.

The team’s most dynamic player, Fernando Tatis Jr., had gone hitless in another loss that featured another underwhelming effort by the team’s offense. His body language suggested a mix of frustration and deflation, and this was nothing new.

The San Diego Padres moved star outfielder Jackson Merrill down from the cleanup spot in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
