PADRES PICK UP CATCHER BRETT NICHOLAS

The San Diego Padres acquired catcher Brett Nicholas from the Texas Rangers for a player to be named later.

What does it give the San Diego Padres
Nicholas should add organizational depth behind the plate for the Padres, though he is likely to peak as a backup catcher in any MLB organization.

What does it give the Texas Rangers
The Rangers had recently designated Nicholas for assignment, so they did well to at least get back a future asset in return (albeit a minor addition).

Fantasy impact
Nicholas does not have much in the way of fantasy value, and should mostly be considered a backup at the highest level. There is nothing to see here, move it along.
