Four years ago, Anderson Espinoza was the top overall prospect in the San Diego Padres organization.
Fast forward to present day, and the right-hander is back for the first time since he was the return piece in a shady trade deal and at the mercy of multiple Tommy John surgeries and rehab stints.
As the fate of the power that be would have it, Espinoza would spend the remainder of his teen years working his way back and, now at 22 years old, made his season debut for the High-A Fort Wayne Tin Caps on Thursday night.
