On this day after Flag Day, the San Diego Padres granted Chris Burke his freedom.
Free agency that is. The Padres released Burke who hit just .207/.270 in 89 abs this season. Burke had recently been optioned to AAA Portland to make room for Luis Rodriguez.
The Padres also traded catcher Colt Morton to the Seattle Mariners for a box of balls and OF Chris Snelling to the Pittsburgh Pirates for 3 rosin bags and a jar of pine tar.
LHP Cesar Ramos, SS Drew Cumberland, and SS Jeudy Valdez were all placed on the minor league DL this past week. The Padres officially have no true shortstops in the minor leagues in the US as of today.

Padres Fill Backup SS Slot
Monday April 20, 2009
It looks like the Padres were not satisfied with the SS options in their farm system to fill the hole left by the injury to Everth Cabrera.
Today San Diego made a trade with the Seattle Mariners to bring back Chris Burke.
Burke was traded to the Mariners shortly before the season started for cash considerations when the Padres determined he would not make the 25 man roster.
Burke has been playing for to Seattle's AAA team in Tacoma where he hit .237 with 1 HR in 10 games played.
