But I don't really understand why they were in such a rush to give up on Rizzo, just because he struggled in his first taste of the majors at 21? His ceiling still seems higher than Yonder Alonso's does, and Alonso could've played LF to make room for Rizzo when he was ready, anyway. And it's not like the Padres have to resort to desperate moves to stock the pitching staff. Seems like the front office was foolishly hasty, there.

And now the Padres are receiving not a whole lot in return with this trade as well. Kind of fitting that the Rangers received essentially nothing in the trade that sent us Adrian.
