The Padres couldn't start the 2015 season without yet another deal by general manager A.J. Preller, according to an ESPN.com report.
Preller pushed ahead with his remarkable makeover of the Padres on Sunday when he acquired closer Craig Kimbrel and outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. from the Braves for outfielders Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin, plus two minor leaguers and a draft pick.
