White Sox acquired infielder Geoff Blum from the Padres for LHP Ryan Meaux.
Insurance with Joe Crede on the way out? We hope not. Blum will be an upgrade over Willie Harris in a utility role, but since manager Ozzie Guillen likes Pablo Ozuna, he shouldn't get enough at-bats to have any fantasy value. Blum was hitting .242/.323/.377 in 223 AB for the Padres
Padres acquired LHP Ryan Meaux from the White Sox for infielder Geoff Blum.
Meaux, a 26-year-old reliever, has been available on waivers before. He had a 2.96 ERA and a 64/18 K/BB ratio in 67 IP for Double-A Birmingham. He'll probably spend some time in the majors before all is said and done, but he shouldn't be much more than a specialist.
