Padres Acquire Edmonds

The Padres have traded minor league third baseman David Freese to the Cardinals for outfielder Jim Edmonds. The Padres have been hit with bad luck after missing out on three free agents, but now acquire a very capable outfielder, assuming he can stay healthy. What is good about this trade is that they did not give up much, so they still have room to trade for another outfielder, perhaps Jason Bay.
