Handful of Padres set for Miami homecoming

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres' upcoming weekend series in Miami doesn't just signify the start of a road trip. For a handful of players in San Diego's clubhouse, it's more like a homecoming.

Take Jarred Cosart, the starter for Game 1 of the three-game series, which begins Friday. He was acquired by the Padres just before the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline, and he didn't have time to move out. He'll be saving room in his suitcase for some of the belongings that he had to leave behind in Miami last month.

"It'll probably be a little emotional," Cosart said.
