Padres Trade Matt Carpenter and Ray Kerr to Braves in Multiplayer Deal
The San Diego Padres have traded Matt Carpenter, Ray Kerr, and cash to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for outfielder Drew Campbell. The move allows the Padres to free up a roster spot and shed Carpenter's contract. Campbell, who finished last season in Double-A, had a strong 2021 season but is still relatively unproven. The trade also provides the Padres with some financial flexibility as they look to make further moves in the offseason.
