The MLB offseason has been historically slow, mostly due to the coronavirus pandemic (and the associated revenue problems), but having a new collective bargaining agreement due next winter (and the associated labor fights until then) is also a factor. Although the major free agents in this winter's class still haven't signed, there has finally been some real movement, courtesy of San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller:
The Chicago Cubs will trade Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini to the Padres for Zach Davies, Yeison Santana, Reggie Preciado, Owen Caissie and Ismael Mena;
The Tampa Bay Rays traded Blake Snell to the Padres for Luis Patino, Blake Hunt, Cole Wilcox and Francisco Mejia;
Ha-Seong Kim signed with the Padres for at least four years and roughly $25 million.
