Umm, no. Mike Adams for a six pack maybe.

A very good reliever that is still under team control next year, I believe. I wouldn't trade an Alonso type prospect for him, but if he could be had for a couple lesser prospects I'd definitely do it. I'd rather have him than Heath Bell personally.

Re: Mike Adams available

Just remember before you jump on the bandwagon...Adams pitches in pitcher friendly Petco Park, which may skew his numbers. Check his road games to see how he is doing away from Petco. Any pitcher coming here will most likely see his numbers jump because of hitter friendly GABP. I'm not saying not to explore getting a reliever, but just remember how GAPB affects pitching overall. Send any of our relievers to Petco and I'm sure his numbers would improve. Just look at Aaron Harang's numbers this year.

The Padres received Anthony Rizzo in the package from the Red Sox for Adrian Gonzalez. He is a 21 year old 1st baseman who was absolutely destroying Triple A pitching to the tune of .365 average, 16 HR's and 63 RBI's in 52 games before forcing the Padres to call him up. I don't think they will need a 1st baseman for a while.

Re: Mike Adams available

We have two of the best left handed relievers in the game of baseball right now. Isnt Adams a lefty too?

Re: Mike Adams available

According to MLBTRADERUMORS.com the Padres are wanting an "elite prospect" in return for Adams. No way am I trading an elite prospect for a middle inning bullpen guy. Insanity. Our bullpen is the last part of the team that needs an upgrade. Starting pitching and a middle of the order run producing bat is all we need to be looking for.
