Kimbrel, BJ to Padres

Craig Kimbrel & BJ Upton have a new home in San Diego.  The Braves get 4 players & a future pick in return.  This deal, reported by NESN, went down today literally hours before the start of the new 2015 season.  The Padres new management is sure throwing around a lot of money!  Matt Kemp, James Shields, Justin Upton, Wil Myers & not-to-be-forgotten Will Middlebrooks are just some of the new faces in Padres uniforms.  Kimbrel is arguably one of the best closers in the game.  BJ was a throw-in & salary dump for the Braves who are building for the future.  John Hart has scrapped the bulk of his team from last year in order to get a competitive team for 2016 & beyond - when the Braves move to their new stadium.  Glad I'm not a season-ticket holder in Atlanta!
