The Padres have dealt Adam Eaton, Akinori Otsuka, and Billy Killian to the Rangers for Chris Young, Adrian Gonzalez, and Terrmel Sledge. [Update: Tip o' the cap to Nick G. for breaking this one in the comments to Tuesday morning's post.] Understand that Aki is one of my all-time favorite Padres. And I still think [...]

Shaken and Stirred
I’ve lost track of who’s actually on the team. Not counting Ramon Hernandez, who is expected to sign with the Orioles, here’s what happened on Wednesday: Mark Sweeney to Giants: According to the U-T this is 2 years for $1.8M.

Nady for Cameron – Part 1
Okay, I’m going to fire off three separate entries on the Xavier Nady for Mike Cameron deal that apparently is going to happen (pending a physical of Cameron to make sure his eyesight is okay after his horrendous collision with Carlos Beltran at Petco Park this past season). The first one is just pretty much [...]
Notes from the AFL
I had planned to take copious notes during my trip to the AFL. Unfortunately, I spent most of the time hopped up on flu medicine and found it hard to concentrate. But I am pretty good at remembering esoterica so I think we should be okay. With the caveat that I saw most of these [...]
