Padres Acquire Huston Street: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

The Padres found their Heath Bell replacement, acquiring closer Huston Street from the division-rival Rockies for a minor leaguer (some suggest a player to be named later). MLB.com's Thomas Harding tweeted the agreement, while Danny Knobler, Scott Miller, and Buster Olney contributed to the breaking story. Harding says the Padres will pay most of the $8MM guaranteed to Street.

Padres get a solid closer who should benefit pitching in that ballpark, and they could always trade him at the deadline

They won't trade him, he will walk as a fa, they should have traded Bell. They could have gotten some good prospects for him instead of nothing.

Ugh, total salary dump by Rox, I hope they do something usefull with the cash they saved.

He should be better pitching in San Diego.

[Dave Crum]

If he stays healthy, he should do well there.
