DONE DEAL: Guardians trade their sensational ace to the Padres in exchange for Scott Barlow.

One of the Padres best relievers is headed to Cleveland

The San Diego Padres announced today they have acquired right-handed pitcher Enyel De Los Santos from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for right-hander Scott Barlow.

Barlow was supposed to be one of the Padres top two relievers in 2024 but he was scheduled to make a little over $7 million, according to Spotrac, so he didn’t fit into the Padres plans since they’re trying to decrease payroll to around $200 million.

De Los Santos, 27, is entering his first year of arbitration so this move should save the Padres around $6 million.
