Pirates trade their only good player!!!
The Pirates traded away their star slugger, Brian Giles, in return for a couple of good prospects. I think this means that they will keep Kendall since they can now theoretically afford his contract without Giles. GM Dave Littlefield had said that the Bucs had 3 big contracts left and one needed to go (Benson was the other) and Giles was by far the most marketable.
The Padres are loading up for their 2004 opening of Petco park. Giles, Klesko, Nevin and Kotsay make a pretty formidable lineup, and supposedly they've got more money to spend.
