Royals trade Travis Wood to the Padres
The San Diego Padres have acquired pitchers Matt Strahm and Travis Wood along with infielder Esteury Ruiz in exchange for Trevor Cahill, Brandon Maurer, and Ryan Buchter from the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
Wood has been a flop in Kansas City, posting a 6.91 ERA in 29 appearances (3 starts), after signing a three-year/$18.5 million deal this offseason. He will likely move into Cahill's spot in the Padres' rotation for the rest of the season.
Wood owns a 1-3 record, 5.54 xFIP, and 6.26 strikeouts per 9 innings rate in 41 2/3 innings pitched this season.
