Padres/Pirates deal

[Pirates GM (Steve)]

PIT sends : Erik Johnson

SDP sends : Jonathan Villar, #882, #919

My reasoning is that while I like Johnson, I've got a huge pitching logjam and his spot is filled by either Paxton, May, or De La Rosa so I don't think there will be a drop off. Villar is young and in a new spot so I am hoping to see an uptick in production from him. The 2 picks are pretty valuable to me since there are still a bunch of the guys I'm targeting still left.

[Padres GM (Steven)]

I need pitching in the worst way, and with Correa on my roster, Villar is expendable.
