Howie Kendrick is no longer an Angel but a Dodger. Fuck
The Will Myers era in Tampa is already over
Quote:The San Diego Padres are close to acquiring promising outfielder Wil Myers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday in a three-team deal that includes the Washington Nationals, a source confirmed to FOX Sports MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal.
The Padres would also receive right-hander Gerardo Reyes, lefty Jose Castillo and catcher Ryan Hanigan from the Rays, MLB.com is reporting.
In return, Tampa Bay woud receive catcher Rene Rivera, right-hander Burch Smith and first-base prospect Jake Bauers from San Diego, while adding outfielder Steven Souza and left-hander Travis Ott from Washington.
The Nationals would get right-hander Joe Ross and shortstop Trea Turner from the Padres.
ESPN's Jim Bowden is reporting that the deal is done pending physicals, but the teams have yet to announce anything.
Seems like Wil Myers has been a "promising outfielder" for about three years now.
He's got a full season of PAs under his belt now, and looks like some power, some speed, pretty average.
Yes he's only 24, but that might be what he is. They're gonna rebuild anyway, fuck it.
The Matt Kemp trade to the Padres might be dead as he failed his physical. Arthritis in both hips.
A's trade away another all-star
Quote:The revamping Oakland Athletics made yet another trade of a star player this offseason, sending catcher Derek Norris and minor-league right-hander Seth Streich to the San Diego Padres on Thursday night for righties Jesse Hahn and R.J. Alvarez along with an international signing bonus slot.
Padres take Kemp anyway (Dodgers paying much of the deal)
Quote:After a week of waiting, and a day that saw medical information leaked and accusations thrown from Los Angeles to San Diego, the deal sending Matt Kemp from the Dodgers to the Padres was officially completed late Thursday night.
Once the dust settled, the official deal was the same as it was originally crafted shortly after last week's Winter Meetings in San Diego — Kemp, catcher Tim Federowicz and cash to the Padres in exchange for catcher Yasmani Grandal and right-handed pitching prospects Joe Wieland and Zach Eflin.
Jake Peavy re-signs with the Giants for 1 year. That most likely keeps Big Tim Timmy Jim in the pen.
Justin Upton traded to Padres. I'm good with that.
Padres also ship Ryan Hanigen to the Red Sox for Will Middlebrooks and re-sign Josh Johnson
Yankees trade Martin Prado & David Phelps to the Marlins for Garrett Jones & Nathan Eovaldi.
