The San Diego Padres are on the verge of making their second trade for a star pitcher in as many days, with the team expected to acquire righty Yu Darvish from the Chicago Cubs, according to sources familiar with the deal.
The Cubs are set to get a combination of prospects and major league players back in the trade, which also includes Chicago's backup catcher, Victor Caratini, who has emerged as Darvish's personal catcher.
