San Diego Padres Trade:
MI Hoy-Jun Park - $801k MiLB OF Bubba Thompson - $801k MiLB
Texas Rangers Trade:
OF Willie Calhoun - $750k Pre-Arb OF Evan Carter - Standard MiLB
In a league as deep as this, I'm always looking to add however I can, and while Willie Calhoun could be redundant even when healthy, I really like his skills and think he can contribute to my lineup long-term. Park and Thompson are off to great starts this year in the minors with Park even getting the call to the show recently, but I like the gamble on Calhoun becoming the best bat here eventually. If not, maybe Evan Carter comes through for me -- fingers crossed. (Will demote a minor leaguer to make space for Calhoun)
Over to Bill and the Rangers for confirmation!

Rangers confirmed. Park is very close to the bigs and it appears he is learning the OF too. With Park and Thompson, I feel that the organizational depth at OF is very strong. Sorry to see Willie go, but he had had a bit of trouble staying on the field, although some of that is bad luck. I hope he puts it together for his new team.
Easy dealings with Kev. Good luck to him and the Padres!
