 February-

 02/05/15San Diego Padres signed free agent RHP Zack Segovia to a minor league contract.

And today sign RHP  James Shields to a 4 year, $70+m contract.

They are also making a run at Cuban phenom Yoan Moncada, and are said to be aggressively pursuing him. Considering the moves already made, I wouldn't rule out the Padres landing this kid.

Play Ball !!!
