Column: Franmil Reyes should benefit from trade; how about Padres newcomer Taylor Trammell?

Quick hits on the Padres trade and other National League fallout from Major League Baseball’s trade deadline.

He goes to the American League, allowing him to stay in the lineup as a designated hitter when he’s not in right field.

Also, the ballpark in Cleveland plays smaller than Petco Park, although Petco is a better place for hitters than it was several years ago.

Reyes, 25, joins a playoff contender that should be in the hunt next year, too.

+ Padres acquisition Taylor Trammell has good range in left field, his probable position.
