The Padres and Athletics made a trade of former high draft choices:

Ahead of Wednesday night’s deadline to tender contracts to unsigned players, the Padres exchanged two players with uncertain futures for a pair of left-handed pitchers, trading first baseman Yonder Alonso and reliever Marc Rzepczynski to the Oakland Athletics for Drew Pomeranz, prospect Jose Torres and a player to be named later or cash considerations.

It’s a trade of players who were once considered prime prospects who never quite lived up to the hype. If either Pomeranz or Alsonso turns out to be a late bloomer, one of these teams will get a nice boost.
