Padres Fielding Calls On Kirby Yates
5 years agoThe San Diego Padres are still fielding calls on closer Kirby Yates as the trade deadline approaches on Wednesday, but they've also had initial talks with him about a contract extension. The Nationals, Dodgers, Twins and Brewers are among the teams seeking bullpen help this summer. Yates has been an elite ninth-inning man this year, posting a 1.02 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and a league-leading 31 saves for the Friars. If he were to be dealt, youngster Andres Munoz would become a lot more interesting in fantasy leagues.
