    Melvin to Blue Jays ...

    ... for Hansel Rodriguez, Toronto's No. 18 prospect. Padres also cover $17 million of the $22 million remaining on his contract.

    Rodriguez, 19, 2-1, 3.06 in Appy League

    OF COURSE he rebounded to be productive elsewhere. Atlanta is where Free Agents go to regress.

    Really surprised he didn't fetch more than that in a trade

    I guess they will call up Margot to replace BJ. I still wish we could make a deal for Hunter Renfroe.

    My thought as well. Rodriguez must have some ceiling, but he's a long ways away.

    That's a great place for him. He may be really good there!

    Padres want to see what Alex Dickerson & Janokowski can do. Renfroe & Margot will be September call ups.

    Upton was beginning to regress the past month and a half. He sported a 5/57 bb/k ratio and his obp was dipping below .270 in July.

    They figured they'd sell while he had value at all
