Gurriel to the San Diego Padres for Cal Quantrill and David Bednar
Ohhh this would be a fun one. For The San Diego Padres, Gurriel can be the long term answer at either second base or be a part of the outfield mix. They could then use Luis Urias and their other prospect capital to help land a starting pitcher. They could also keep Urias and have Gurriel as a part of the mix at multiple positions.
A middle of the order of Gurriel, Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer, along with the other bats they have, like Wil Myers and it could help improve their offense. It also opens up another 40 man roster spot for a team that has a roster crunch.
For the Toronto Blue Jays, this will help in two areas. In Quantrill, the prodigal son returns to Canada. His father was a relief pitcher for the team back in the 1990s. Quantrill can step right in and man one of the spots in the starting rotation. Quantrill offers years of team control as well.
In Bednar, the Toronto Blue Jays get another bullpen piece who could help their depth. Bednar had a cup of coffee in San Diego after striking out 86 batters in 59 innings in AA with a 2.95 ERA and 14 saves.
