I like the trade as it is now with these two principals, can't wait to see the other players involved.

Alex Torres and right-handed pitcher Jesse Hahn from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for infielders Logan Forsythe and Maxx Tissenbaum and right-handed pitchers Matt Andriese, Brad Boxberger and Matt Lollis.

Seems like a fine deal for the Padres. Torres's WHIP of 1.42 when he was at AAA (as referenced by Bill above) is a little higher than you'd like to see.....but he sure threw well in the majors over a decent sample size.
