Padres' Brad Hand in high demand on trade market
At least 15 Major League Baseball teams have expressed interest in acquiring San Diego Padres relief pitcher Brad Hand, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union Tribune reports.
The 27-year-old All-Star is one of the top left-handed relievers believed to be available via trade and comes with the added bonus of having two additional years of team control. It would be a major surprise if he was still in San Diego when the calendar flips to August.
Hand holds a 2.30 ERA, 32.1 percent strikeout rate, and 7.0 percent walk rate over 47 innings for the Padres this season.
