The San Diego Padres trade OF Chris Snelling to the Pirates
The Padres have traded 27-year old lefty swinging outfielder Chris Snelling to the Pirates for future considerations. Snelling has played in 49 games in the Mexican League so far this season and he was 58 for 179 (.324 avg, .955 OPS) with 34 runs scored, 5 homers and 29 RBIs. Despite Snelling’s good start in the Mexican League (AAA) and the Padres’ need for offense they still moved him. That’s probably because he’s never shown that he can stay healthy when in the majors.
