The San Diego Padres have claimed Luis Patino off of waivers from the Chicago White Sox. Of course fans know Patino, as he was once one of the best prospects in the farm system—ranked as high as #3 in 2020.
He was traded in the Blake Snell trade a few years ago but never lived up to expectations in Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old has only made 45 appearances in parts of four big league seasons, posting a 5.02 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.
The Rays traded Patino at the trade deadline this past season for cash. In Chicago, Patino only made one start and appeared in seven games.
