Padres acquire outfielder Matt Szczur from the Cubs
The San Diego Padres acquired outfielder Matt Szczur from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for pitcher Justin Hancock.
What It Means:
Szczur was designated for assignment on Saturday by Chicago after getting very limited playing time in a crowded Cubs outfield. The 27-year-old could find more consistent at-bats in San Diego as a platoon hitter against lefties.
Szczur owns a career batting average of .243 with a .665 OPS and eight home runs in 369 plate appearances over four seasons.
