The San Diego Padres and the Kansas City Royals made a trade yesterday, with San Diego sending toolsy outfielder Franchy Cordero and pitching prospect Ronald Bolanos to the Royals for lefty reliever Tim Hill, per reports. I believe this is just the second trade that has happened since MLB cranked back up this summer, with both trades involving the Padres.
This is kind of a weird trade, because the Padres generally collect toolsy outfielders, not trade them away, and if A.J. Preller has decided it is time to move on from a toolsy outfielder then his value is likely at its nadir.
