The Padres made three massive moves to strengthen their club adding an entire outfield in mere days with the additions of Matt Kemp, Justin Upton and Wil Myers.
Matt Kemp, Tim Federowicz and $32 million was sent to the Padres as the Dodgers received Yasmani Grandal, Joe Wieland and Zack Eflin. What does Kemp have left at this point, and should you be concerned about his hip issues?
NOTE: Of course Grandal is a catcher and not a SS as stated in the video. Doh!
Justin Upton was dealt to the Padres as the Braves received prospects SS Jace Peterson, 3B Dustin Peterson, OF Mallex Smith and LHP Max Fried. Upton has been one of the better offensive performers of the last six seasons. Really he has.
Wil Myers was dealt to the Padres, the third starting outfielder they picked up within a week. What will the Padres do with their OF depth?
Full Details of the Deal:
The Rays are expected to receive three minor leaguers (RHP Joe Ross, RHP Burch Smith & 1B Jake Bauers) and C Rene Rivera.
The Padres receive Myers, catcher Ryan Hanigan and minor-league pitchers Gerardo Reyes and Jose Castillo.
SS Trea Turner from the Padres and Ross from the Rays go to the Washington Nationals, who would send OF Steven Souza and LHP Travis Ott to the Rays.
