The San Diego Padres made a big splash on Thursday morning, trading for pitchers Mason Miller and JP Sears hours before Major League Baseball's Trade Deadline.

With the trade deadline and an off day looming on Thursday, the Mets gave an empty effort and were swept by the Padres at Petco Park.

The Mets were “engaged” in the starting pitcher market, David Stearns said, but ultimately did not add for a few reasons.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Mets: Clay Holmes (9-5, 3.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 88 strikeouts); Padres: Yu Darvish (0-3, 9.18 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 11 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres and the New York Mets square off in the last game of a three-game series. The Padres can sweep the series with a win.
