The long rumored Greg Maddux trade finally went through. The San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers struck a deal that will send the future Hall of Famer from San Diego north to L.A.
While Maddux doesn’t still have his Cy Young stuff, he’s still a pretty darn decent pitcher. In 26 starts […]
Even though the baseball trade deadline has come and gone, that doesn’t mean the trading has ended. In fact, expect to see plenty of more deals before all is said and done. Waiver trades have been common in the last decade.

Catcher Michael Barrett of the San Diego Padres had a painful at bat on Wednesday. Barrett swung at a 1-1 delivery from Colorado Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. The good news is Barrett hit the ball. The bad news is that the ball hit him in the nose.
Barrett immediately fell to the ground […]
Michael Inoa is a 16-year-old pitcher from the Dominican Republic who has scouts salivating. Inoa, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 210 pounds, is reportedly drawing interest from a number of teams including the New York Yankees, the San Diego Padres and the Oakland Athletics.

However, injuries have limited Prior in recent years and now once again Prior is going to have a date […]
Check out this video of Albert Pujols injuring two San Diego Padres in one inning. First, Pujols lines a pitch off of Padres pitcher Chris Young’s face. Then Pujols slides into the leg of Padres catcher Josh Bard.
While obviously Pujols didn’t try to injure either player, it was definitely a notable […]
Jim Edmonds, who was released by the San Diego Padres less than a week ago, has already found a new job. Edmonds was signed by the Chicago Cubs and will be a backup outfielder. Felix Pie was optioned to the minors to make enough room on the roster for Edmonds.
Edmonds, who is 37-years-old, […]
Over at Ducksnorts, I’ve interviewed Tom Krasovic, who covers the Padres for the San Diego Union-Tribune. Some of it is Padres specific, but we touch on other items as well, including blogging as a medium for reporting sports:

My preview of the Padres is up at Hardball Times. One issue I touch on is the uncertainty at the back end of San Diego’s rotation:
Last year the Padres brought in Greg Maddux and David Wells. One of those worked out real well, the other not so much. This year it’s Randy Wolf and Mark […]
