Stunning trade so early in the season. I read it as a vote of confidence in Elmer Reyes.

Who exactly would want Greene? Anxious to see what turd we get in return.
Two things of note:
1) When I promote this site to others, I tell them we have fans from foreign countries who became fans specifically because they found a baseball in their backyard from Jeff Francoeur in Orlando Florida (that's clearly not Turner Field).
2) That commercial makes me miss the days of Braves on TBS and Turner South, as it played like every commercial break. :(

Funny, but you may have the Cash part right. It may be the old PTBNL or Cash trade. If a player is involved it is likely someone the Padres have no need for anymore (same as us with Greene). In other words, no one worth mentioning most likely. But nothing wrong with hoping to get someone that amounts to something.
Maybe the Padres GM will confuse Tyler Greene with Tyler Pastornicky and actually give us a decent player back. OK not likely, but that would be nice. :)

Yea, but Lopez was actually pitching well in AAA at the time. Plus Butcher wasn't doing well (Buchter had a 6.55 ERA at the time). Of course it remains to be seen if Butcher's control ever comes around too.
Greene has been rather bad in AAA thus far too, unlike Lopez before that trade.

Looks like they've activated Mycal Jones to take Tyler Greene's AAA roster spot. Maybe we'll see Gosselin play some games at short. He's got the quickness and range.
We've acquired the ghost of Sterling Hitchcock.
