It's no secret that the San Diego Padres were the darlings of the offseason. Over a two-day stretch in December 2014, the Padres made more moves than many of us could ever imagine a team making in an entire year. They acquired starting catcher Derek Norris, outfielder Wil Myers, and third baseman Will Middlebrooks at the cost of the depth in their farm system, including righty Joe Ross, righty Jesse Hahn, reliever R.J. Alvarez, and, famously, shortstop Trea Turner, who lived in limbo for six months while he waited to be trade-eligible following his first year from signing.
