The Padres took advantage of the Nationals’ fire sale — one that has seen them ship off Brad Hand, Kyle Schwarber, and reportedly Max Scherzer and Trea Turner over the last 24 hours — and swung a late-night deal for veteran reliever Daniel Hudson. Pitching prospect Mason Thompson and shortstop Jordy Barley head back to Washington in return:
Hudson, 34, should give another boost to a Padres bullpen that already has a majors-best 2.97 ERA and features a pair of dominant late-inning options in Mark Melancon and Drew Pomeranz. Hudson has been rather unpredictable during his 12-season major league career; at times he’s looked like one of the worst pitchers in baseball, and as recently as last year he had a 6.10 ERA (despite good peripheral numbers in 21 appearances).
