What It Means:

We reported earlier today this trade was likely to happen, and now it's official. The Padres have no intention of winning anything meaningful this year, and their farm system needs an influx of talent.

Rodney has allowed just one earned run over 28 2/3 innings this season, but his fantasy value will be crushed with this move. He figures to slide into a setup role with Miami, who employs A.J. Ramos as its closer. In San Diego, either Ryan Buchter or Brandon Maurer will likely get the chance to close.
