Rangers and Braves have agreed on the following pending reviews and approvals.
Rangers send
RP Manny Banuelos- never called up, not yet passed innings
Braves send
Nick Ahmed (ARI) SS $300,000 (2020)
With the injury to Elvis Andrus I have been looking around for a cheap sub. Ahmed isn't great or very good, more of a warm body who plays most days and can help a little with some of the counting stats and hopefully not kill my average. Manny B is a flier, he has played all the way up to the majors and all the way down to the minors. This year so far he has had two good starts in AAA for the Dodgers, who knows maybe someday he will live up to his hype from years ago.
Best I can tell, players were acquired as follows:
Manny Banuelos
Rangers and Padres have agreed on a deal.
Rangers trade
SP Bartolo Colon $2.6 (2017)
RP J Papelbon $8.0 (2016)
in exchange
Padres trade:
SS Gavin Cecchini -minor
P M Banuelos minor
2016 DD pick
2016 3rd round pick
RP Luke Hocheaver $3,600,000 (2016)
Ryu $7.5 (2016)
Nick Ahmed
Drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 2nd round of the 2011 amateur draft.
There was a trade involving Ahmed and Drew Smyly but it was cancelled
