The San Diego Padres are "pushing hard" to trade Derek Norris, according to a report.

Norris has been a rumored trade candidate for months, but recent Padres rumors have focused on Andrew Cashner and Melvin Upton.

San Diego has catcher Austin Hedges waiting in the Minor Leagues.

Norris is having a disappointing season -- .204/.263/.379 with 12 homers over 312 plate appearances.
