C Yorvit Torrealba has a place he can call home…Petco Park. He signed a one year/$1.2M deal with the Padres. Torralba split time with the Rockies last season posting a .291 with 2HRs and 31RBIs . The Rockies opted to go younger and start Chris Iannetta and picked up Miguel Olivo. Torrealba will split time with C Nick Hundley. I can’t see this benefiting the Padres too much.

Sources say SP Erik Bedard and the Mariners have agreed on a 1yr/%1.5M with the Mariners. Incentives make the contract worth $7.5M. That’s just plain ridiculous for an average guy. Bedard (5-3; 2.82ERA) has been short of amazing with the M’s thus far posting an 11-7; 3.24ERA in 30 starts for the club in two years. He’s just not durable enough.
