Salary dump for the Padres. $7.5 million. I like it. Benoit is 38 years old but still has plenty left in his arm.

Like it. Heard the 2 MiLB players were nothing special. Worth the risk.

They had too much money tied up in their bullpen.

With Rodney coming off the Mariners books, the Mariners needed to add someone like Joaquin Benoit. Padres on the other hand cleared almost $20m by moving Kimbrel and Benoit. Makes sense for them.
