The Padres are sending outfielder Jabari Blash, who made his MLB debut last season, to the Yankees. San Diego will also take on the remaining $13 Million of Headley’s contract.
The deal will allow the Yankees to shed payroll, and will allow the Padres to add legitimate Major League talent to their roster.
