![]() SAN DIEGO, CA - With the 2011 season completed, the Padres began planning for the 2012 season by trading second baseman Orlando Hudson to the Baltimore Orioles for a 4th round rookie draft pick and relief pitcher Trevor Bell. Originally acquired for shortstop Adam Everett, Hudson had been a Padre since the 2004 season, having played more games at second base than any other Padre since 1995. He was an All-Star in 2004 and won 4 consecutive Gold Gloves from 2006-2009. “We wanted to get something for O-Dog while we still could. He’s not getting any younger,” manager Tim Stoops commented.

![]() SAN DIEGO, CA - The Padres struck up a deal today with familiar trade partner, the Baltimore Orioles, acquiring infielder Bobby Crosby for relief pitcher Luis Perdomo and outfielder Drew Macias. Crosby, a 29-year old shortstop primarily, brings great flexibility to the Padres infield. He expects to see time at third base, first base, and maybe some second base during the 2010 season. He was even spotted with an outfielder's glove upon his arrival at Petco Park. Perdomo and Macias, barely Padres for 24 hours, had been signed as undrafted players following the 2010 rookie draft. Both were victims of not being needed due to the Padres depth in the outfield and in the bullpen. |
