The Jason Bartlett-to-San Diego trade is back, bigger, and finally official. The Padres on Friday acquired the veteran shortstop from Tampa Bay along with a player to be named in exchange for right-handers Adam Russell and Brandon Gomes, lefty Cesar Ramos and infielder Cole Figueroa.
The trade comes nine days after the teams reportedly agreed on an exchange of Bartlett for Russell and Ramos during baseball's Winter Meetings. Bartlett even told reporters he had been traded -- though it turned out he had merely learned of the proposed deal from media reports -- and his replacement in Tampa Bay, Reid Brignac, took to Twitter to wish Bartlett well as he moved on.
The deal hit a snag, though, with reports that the Rays had concerns about the health of one of the pitchers they were getting back. Both sides then went radio-silent for several days before word of the new, expanded deal emerged Friday.
