The San Diego Padres succeeded in strengthening their bullpen ahead of the trade deadline. The team is excited. On
The 29th (Korean time), San Diego acquired right-handed pitcher Jason Adam through a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.
They gave up three prospects, right-handed pitcher Dylan Lesco (20), outfielder Homer Bush Jr. (22), and catcher JD Gonzalez (18), in exchange for a pitcher who has an ERA of 2.49, 19 holds, and 4 saves in 47 games this season.
He did not join the game that day. He is scheduled to join the team for the home game against the LA Dodgers next week.
Manager Mike Shildt explained in an interview after the last away game against the Baltimore Orioles that he talked to him on the phone with the coaching staff.
He said, “All reports say he’s a top-tier player off the field. I’Ve heard he has a very good personality,” and praised the new player’s human side first. He
Continued, “More importantly, he’s an A-plus player on the field. He’ll be a great help to the bullpen. He can catch both left-handed and right-handed batters. He’ll be a huge bonus for our team,” expressing his expectations. He
Was tight-lipped about how he’ll be used. He said, “A good bullpen pitcher is always needed. He played a key role in the second half of games on his previous team. I hope he’ll continue that role here. He’ll be used with other players like Jeremiah Estrada in important situations in the second half of games,” hinting at his plan to use him as a key player.
San Diego’s reinforcement of its power is not over yet. The next target for acquisition is a starting pitcher. They plan to find a player who can fill the rotation left by Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish.
In an interview with local media outlets such as '97.3 The Fan' on this day, General Manager AJ Preller made it clear that the recruitment process is not over yet, saying, "We plan to continue to listen to (offers) while looking at the market for the next few days."
Regarding this, Manager Shildt said, "General Manager Preller asks me, 'What do you need from this team? ' We have a good relationship and communicate and share my thoughts. However, I trust him and let him do his job," and said that he trusts the front office when it comes to strengthening the team.
Kim Ha-seong's thoughts were not much different. He said, "Our team formed the team with the fall baseball in mind, and the players, coaches, and front office all have the same goal. The front office has a role to play and the players have a role to play," emphasizing that they should all be faithful to their respective roles with the same goal.
