After a four-game series with Seattle in which the Pads gave up 9, 16, 6, and 16 runs runs (including blowing a 12-2 6th inning lead on Thursday) one would assume that SD is looking for pitching, pitching, and maybe a little pitching thrown in. And today SD dealt away James Shields (to the ChiSox for three minors leaguers) just a season and 1/3 after signing him to a big-buxx, four-year + option deal. So, yeah, looks like they're open to dealing.
