The San Diego Padres made more noise in the offseason with a number of splashy additions than they have at any point during the 2015 campaign, so they elected to get younger and add some depth to their farm system Tuesday in the form of catcher Marcus Greene Jr.
MLB.com noted that San Diego acquired Greene Jr. and a player to be named later from the Texas Rangers for veteran outfielder Will Venable.
Despite the additions of Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Wil Myers, James Shields and Craig Kimbrel before the season began, the Padres find themselves in fourth place in the National League West and well out of the postseason race.
