UPDATE: The Padres have officially announced the trade:
According to multiple media reports, the Padres have traded starter Chris Paddack and reliever Emilio Pagan to the Twins in exchange for reliever Taylor Rogers and outfielder Brent Rooker. This ends Paddack's up and down tenure with the Padres. Paddack stormed onto the scene with a 2.7 WAR rookie season, but struggled with ERAs of 4.73 and 5.07 in his past two seasons. Rogers could fill the Padres' closer role. Rogers has 50 career saves, including 30 in 2019.
