They aren’t done yet, folks! According to MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell, the San Diego Padres are sending starting pitcher Walker Lockett to the Cleveland Indians. The return for Lockett is not known at the moment.
Lockett was added to the Padres 40-man roster ahead of the 2018 season and figured to be a factor in the major league starting rotation at some point, unfortunately, that never materialized. Lockett went 5-9 with a 4.73 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas before making his major league debut on June 1st against the Cincinnati Reds.
