MUJICA TO SAN DIEGO

The San Diego Padres acquired pitcher Edward Mujica from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

What does it give the San Diego Padres
The Padres' pitching staff has been depleted by injuries and ineffectiveness this spring, so adding a young arm in Mujica at this time makes a lot of sense. He'll likely pitch in middle relief.

What does it give the Cleveland Guardians
The Indians overhauled their bullpen in the off-season, so there wasn't much room left for Mujica to make his mark. He will get a better shot in San Diego, while the Tribe will receive future compensation.
