Padres acquired RHP Tyler Barnette from the White Sox for cash considerations.
The 26-year-old had a rough season in 2016, registering a 6.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 59/37 K/BB ratio across 84 frames between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He has the ability to start and pitch out of the bullpen, but he’s nothing more than organizational depth at this point for the Padres.
