The Padres have been a surprise this year and picked up a new third baseman to hit behind Adrian Gonzalez.
The Padres have reportedly sent minor league pitcher Wynn Pelzer to the Orioles for Tejada.
Tejada is hitting .269/.308/.362 this year and has been ineffective in the field. He’s still owed $2.2 million this season.
Pelzer was listed by Baseball America as the Padre’s 7th best prospect at the beginning of the year.
