Andrew Moore<\/a> in the deal.\n<\/p>\n\n\tStratton, 29, has only made three appearances in 2026. For his career (60 appearances), he has a 3.88 ERA (3.89 FIP) and a 14.6% strikeout-minus-walk rate, though he has struggled each of the previous two seasons. He is controlled for at least three seasons beyond 2026.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tEssentially, the Padres flipped a reliever who isn’t ready for big-league action for one who theoretically could be. What do you think of the move? Join the conversation in the comments!\n<\/p>\n
