San Diego Padres Trade:
SP Yonny Chirinos - $1.2M Arb2 Arb3 FA
Seattle Mariners Trade:
C Luis Torrens - $1.5M Arb2 Arb3 FA
I just dealt my prospective backup catcher for some pitching...only natural to flip some pitching for a backup catcher. I initially acquired Yonny Chirinos thinking he would be a nice mid-season addition to my rotation, but I think I've built up enough SP depth to make him a luxury rather than a necessity. Meanwhile, I really dig the strides Luis Torrens made during his demotion last year and though I consider him more of a DH moving forward, I'll ride his bat as long as he has catcher eligibility.
Always good to connect with Jeff. Over to him and the Mariners for confirmation.

Mariners confirm! We have 5 active catchers on our roster, and that’s just too many (especially when none of them are particularly special). I have enough pitching depth to wait for Charinos to get healthy, so this was a pretty easy swap. This is maybe the 10773th trade that Kevaghn and I have made, and I’m sure we will make plenty more in the future.
