After dealing Craig Kimbrel to the Boston Red Sox and Joaquin Benoit to the Seattle Mariners for prospects more had to be done.

The San Diego Padres signed right handed reliever Cesar Vargas to the 40 man roster. The minor league prospect wasn’t the only player signed.

Former Minnesota Twins catcher Josmil Pinto was also signed by the Padres, Pinto posted a career batting average of (.257) 11 career home runs to go with 30 RBI’s in two seasons for the twins.

With the winter meetings approaching having nearly a full roster is key for San Diego. Being able to trade key pieces or make financial flexibility is essential to improving during the off season.

This will be very intriguing to see how many more transactions San Diego will make going into the winter meetings.
