Padres Make Power Move, Acquire Hill and Choi in Deadline Trade

The San Diego Padres have acquired veteran left-hander Rich Hill and first baseman Ji Man Choi from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a trade, indicating their intention to bolster their roster ahead of the Trade Deadline. Hill, despite being the oldest player in MLB, has shown he can still cover innings, while Choi brings offensive potential but lacks defensive prowess. The Padres are betting on Choi's history and hope he can contribute as a designated hitter or bench bat.
