Analysis:

With the Padres carrying three catchers at the moment in Hundley, Yasmani Grandal and Rene Rivera, the team is motivated to deal Hundley to a team looking for an upgrade at their primary backup spot. The 30-year-old is in the final year of his three-year, $9 million extension and is batting .333 over 21 plate appearances this season.
