MLB News: San Diego Padres Trade For Orioles 3B Miguel Tejada

News

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.
