Giants and Padres certainly have more high-end talent. Toss up between them two for your first answer.

Second answer: Cards could bring largest haul for the future because of valuable expiring assets, but in losing them, will drop from the WC chase. Which most would be fine with if they trade wisely.

Best deadline acquisition with win-now mindset - I’d guess Padres since they have higher payroll and much older roster.
