The San Diego Padres made a solid trade with the Tampa Bay Rays a year ago.
A year ago tomorrow, on December 6, 2019, the San Diego Padres completed a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays in which they acquired Tommy Pham and Jake Cronenworth in exchange for Hunter Renfroe, Xavier Edwards, and a player to be named later (who ended up being Estaban Quiroz). How has that trade worked out so far?
Well, the Rays have received much praise over the years for their ability to pull off great trades, but – so far – the Padres have been the winners on this one.
