Trey McNuttAs quiet as the Padres have been on the big league front, the front office has added a number of intriguing names to the organization.
In addition to closing in on minor league deal with middle infielder Skip Schumaker, the organization has also come to an agreement on a minor league deal with Trey McNutt, a former 32nd-round pick of the Cubs who rated as high as the No. 48 prospect in the game according to Baseball America's pre-2011 rankings. He struck out 132 batters in 116 1/3 innings across three levels in 2010, but failed to see his ERA crack 4.00 the next three years and missed all of 2014 due to shoulder surgery.
