 SAN DIEGO (AP) - The Texas Rangers traded pitcher Chan Ho Park to the San Diego Padres for slugger Phil Nevin on Saturday.
The deal was tentatively agreed to Friday and needed approval from the commissioner's office because it involves the Rangers sending cash to San Diego to help offset the money remaining on the $65 million, five-year contract Park signed with Texas before the 2002 season.
"I'm going to go in and say goodbye to my teammates and start packing and get my stuff ready to go to Toronto," Nevin said Friday. "I'm excited. I honestly am. It's an opportunity to play, it's a great organization, there's some great people there that I do know from a long time ago. I'm just excited to get over there."
