The Padres traded for left-hander Nestor Cortes, shortstop prospect Jorge Quintana, and cash from the Brewers in exchange for Brandon Lockridge, with the Brewers covering most of Cortes’ salary. Cortes, who struggled with injuries and a 9.00 ERA this season, adds depth to the Padres’ rotation, while Lockridge, a capable outfielder, may see immediate playing time in Milwaukee.
