What's next for the Padres?

It's been a rough for days for the Padres, who thought they had a deal in place for Max Scherzer, only to watch him (and Trea Turner) land with the Dodgers. Then they made a play for Jose Berrios, and he wound up with the Blue Jays. San Diego did import closer Daniel Hudson, though he doesn't help a rotation in need of reinforcement.

Who could the Padres target with Yu Darvish hitting a bump in the road the last few weeks and Blake Snell struggling pretty much all season? A few suggestions:

RHP Kyle Gibson, Rangers: Gibson is starting to come back to Earth following that unreal post-Opening Day run. He's not a rental, which may actually be a deterrent for the Padres given the arms they have lined up for next year (Darvish, Snell, Joe Musgrove, Chris Paddack, Ryan Weathers, a returning Mike Clevinger, etc.), though they need help now and Gibson would help.

RHP Jon Gray, Rockies: Reports indicate the Rockies will keep Gray and try to extend him and I get it. He's not afraid of Coors Field and it's tough to find pitchers willing to sign long-term in Colorado, so if the Rockies can keep him, keep him. That said, Gray's career may be over by time the Rockies are ready to contend again. He's a rental and he's familiar with the NL West. Gray may be the ideal pickup for San Diego at this point.

RHP Michael Pineda, Twins: There are days Pineda looks like the best pitcher in baseball, but most days he's merely adequate and leaves you wanting more. He's a rental and a slider specialist who stands out for his control. Pineda is a good bet to eat innings, though he's not a true difference-maker at this point in his career.

Also keep an eye on Angels righty Alex Cobb, Cubs righty and former Padre Zach Davies, and Diamondbacks righty Merrill Kelly.
