We just saw a big deadline trade go down. The Padres and the Marlins matched up their cards and swapped a gaggle of players. Where does this leave the Padres’ MLB team, and how is the organization affected?

Anyhow, let’s run down the players involved in the trade:
Padres send: RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Colin Rea, RHP Tayron Guerrero. Cashner was in his final year of arbitration with no indication that he’d be with the team past this season.
