Padres trade: Carlos Quentin
Indians trade: Nick Swisher plus cash
Trade makes sense for both teams because Indians get a right handed bat the can play OF/DH. Padres get a guy that can play first in case Alonso doesn't preform. I think this is more likely maybe in the middle of ST or before the season starts

The Indians would be more likely interested in giving up a prospect in lieu of cash. A bullpen arm (CC Lee?) or a Lower Level player (Lake Country Captains Level A-) with some upside. A group of two or three (Eric Haase or Alex Levisky) to select from by a specified date.

An additional exchange of prospects may be possible as well. Perhaps both teams will get a winning lottery ticket.

Never thought I'd hear Carlos Quentin and Winning Lottery Ticket used in the same sentence.
