PADRES BRING BACK BURKE

The San Diego Padres acquired infielder/outfielder Chris Burke from the Seattle Mariners for cash.

What does it give the San Diego Padres
With young backup shortstop Everth Cabrera on the 60-day DL, the Padres needed more infield help. Burke could get starts at shortstop and second base.

What does it give the Seattle Mariners
The Mariners now have Ronny Cedeno to back up in the infield, which left Burke on the outside looking in. Therefore, they moved him for cash.
