Freddy Fermin Going to San Diego
Freddy Fermin from the Kansas City Royals for right-handers Ryan Bergert and Stephen Kolek, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. Elias Diaz and Martin Maldonado have gotten the lion's share of playing time behind the plate for the Padres, but neither has provided much offense. Padres catchers have combined to hit an awful .203/.259/.315. Fermin isn't an offensive world-beater either, but he should give the Padres an upgrade with the bat. The 30-year-old has hit .255/.309/.339 with three home runs, 12 RBI, and 17 runs scored in 208 plate appearances.
