What a joke. How the Pads expected something like that to get past the Giants (with closer Brian "Fear the Beard" Wilson on IR along with set-up man Sergio Romo) is beyond me.

And if the Giants actually expect the Padres not to withdraw waivers with an intra-division claim on the books is ALSO beyond me.

Seems like a game of one-upsmanship to me.

In the words of lee corso...."not so fast my friend!"

The Padres want to get something for Bell, The Giants are already all in with acquiring Beltran and need a reliable reliever... seems like the best match up for a waiver trade, division rival or not.

Thome and Kubel both claimed, but the team(s) have not been announced. Rumor is Chicago WS for Thome.
