PHILLY PICKS UP JAMES NORWOOD
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher James Norwood from the San Diego Padres for infielder Kervin Pichardo and cash.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
In Norwood, the Phillies get a decent reliever who has a shot at breaking camp with the big-league squad this year. The Phils gave up a young shortstop prospect and cash in this deal.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
Pichardo is a long-range shortstop prospect for San Diego. He is worth picking up for a pitcher who had been designated for assignment recently. Getting cash back is a bonus here.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here. Norwood is not guaranteed of being in Philadelphia when the regular season begins, while Pichardo is years away from being on the fantasy radar.
