Padres / Astros

[Admin]

Padres receive:
RF Avisail Garcia (White Sox) $6.9 6th
RP David Hernandez (Reds) $1.0 2019

Astros receive:
2B,SS,3B,LF Eduardo Nuñez (Red Sox) $6.0 2020
SP,RP Antonio Senzatela (Rockies) $0.5 2nd
RP Adam Morgan (Phillies) $1.0 4th

Cap change:
Padres: +$0.4 ($99.7)
Astros: -$0.4

Astros’ reason for the trade:
My interest here is mostly Senzatela. He was decent last year, and has shown signs of being promising during his minor league time this year. Rockies pitchers are never a good bet, but it seems like a low risk trade.

Nuñez can probably get into my lineup most days. Who knows? Maybe one day he’ll run again. Hopefully he’ll get another real life contract offer somewhere in 2019. I’d expect his track record would make it likely. Whatever the outcome, I’m happy to add another pitcher.

Thanks Bill. Pleasure doing business with you.

I accept. I get a hitting upgrade, the ability to shed the extra years of Nunez and a relief upgrade at the cost of Senzatela, who has been very up and down. I think he has a lot of potential, but hasn't quite found it consistenly yet at the MLB level. My win now approach does not coincide with his growing pains, so I feel this was a deal I could make.

Thanks Adam for the quick and productive deal.
