Hello and happy Wednesday.
I don’t usually plan on using this space to talk about baseball teams that aren’t the San Francisco Giants. And I sure as hell don’t usually plan on using this space to talk about the San Diego Padres.
But desperate and ugly times call for desperate and ugly measures.
Just a few days after the Padres agree to trade for 2018 AL Cy Young winner Blake Snell, they’re back at it. The Padres are bringing Yu Darvish back to the NL West, as they traded for the Chicago Cubs ace who finished second in Cy Young voting in 2020.
