Padres are definitely in win-now mode. Hope to see them make the playoffs!
Does Wisler crack the rotation right away or not til' later this year?

But still worth it. Melvin was just that bad a Contract...
KInda like the Phils are gonna have to dump Papelbon. Why pay a closer big bucks when you're (well) under .500?

San Diego just took the Braves with all the people they have no place or use for anymore. And the Braves got someone to take Melvin off their hands.

The Padres have been busy this offseason. The trades may not work out, but at least San Diego is doing something.
As a Padre fan since 1969, I am looking forward to this season.

Looks like the Braves are going to DFA Quentin right away also, taking him as part of the deal was just to offset some of Melvin's money

Good deal for Atlanta. I can't believe they got someone to take that contract.

I don't like taking on Melvin's contract, but from a player only perspective, I like the deal.
San Diego has a pretty good bullpen now so hopefully many of their games will be reduced to seven innings.

That's what I was thinking.

He's pretty much useless to a team that's not going to compete.

It must REALLY suck to be a Braves fan this season.

He'll be an expensive bench player, with his brother, Kemp and Myers already in the outfield.

So, why does trading Kimbrel make sense for the Braves?
Also, I'm very impressed with the Brave's brass for pulling in so many top quality arms to their system this winter/spring.
I see they picked up these guys:
Banuelos
Foltynewicz
Fried
Miller, Shelby
Thurman
Winkler
Wisler
Vizcaino
Anyone else?
And they already have Sims, Hursh, Fulenchek, Jenkins, and others.
That's a major haul of quality arms!
I'm guessing the Braves think highly of Paroubeck? I hit a few color refs of him in 2014 Bowman and didn't know what to make of him. I'm guessing he's a somewhat important part of that trade though.
