I can't believe the money the Padres are throwing around; or, maybe more accurately, I can't believe an MLB organization is actually willing to spend the money they have on free agents.

I read a blurb yesterday that Reds GM Nick Krall had to move Kyle Farmer to save the $3M so that he could make a few moves while still staying under the ownership mandated budget.

And, despite the fact that we need catching depth, the Reds apparently just sold off one of their Rule 5 draftees for cash:

Giants acquired C/OF Blake Sabol from the Reds for cash and a player to be named later.
Well, that was fast. Sabol was just selected by the Reds from the division-rival Pirates in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday evening and will head to the Giants to serve in a versatile bench role next season. The 24-year-old hit .284/.363/.467 with 19 homers and 10 steals across 513 plate appearances last year between Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis.

I wonder if the organization has checked the couch cushions for spare change...
