NL West: Trevor Cahill agrees to deal with Padres

Trevor Cahill has agreed to a deal with the Padres. The veteran has signed a one-year, $1.75M contract with San Diego, thus causing the need for a spot to be cleared on the team’s 40-man. He reportedly turned down offers from the Blue Jays, the Cardinals, and a handful of other teams.

Here’s what else is going on in the National League West.

• These are the top-10 Giants prospects according to Baseball America.
• Who should the Diamondbacks fourth outfielder be?
• Clayton Kershaw is the absolute master of the WHIP, case closed.
• Barry Bonds wasn’t elected to the Hall of Fame this year, but his chances of being in next year’s class are pretty high.
• German Marquez is determined to secure a rotation spot in the upcoming season.
• Trevor Hoffman got a pretty hard snub too, being only five votes shy, so next year is going to be a darn good year for him (hopefully). Because anyone can have the most saves in baseball history, amiright?
• The Dodgers trade Micah Johnson to the Braves for a player to be named later or cash.
• The Diamondbacks sign Gregor Blanco to a minor league deal.
• The Wil Myers six-year extension is official, so yay!
• Will signing Chris Iannetta cause a drastic change in Arizona’s catching situation?
• Nolan Arenado has signed a two-year, $29.5M deal with the Rockies.
• Where will the Dodgers pick in the 2017 draft?
