SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The Florida Marlins have
traded outfielder Cameron Maybin to the San Diego Padres for
right-handed relievers Edward Mujica and Ryan
Webb.
The deal was announced
Saturday.
The 23-year-old Maybin hit .234 with eight
home runs and 28 RBIs. He made 74 starts in center
field.
Maybin was the 10th overall pick in the 2005
draft and later traded by Detroit in a multiplayer deal for Miguel
Cabrera. Once considered one of baseball's top prospects, he's
struggled to make consistent contact at the plate in the majors,
leading to several trips back to the minors.
The
26-year-old Mujica was 2-1 with a 3.62 ERA in 59 games for the Padres.
He struck out 72 and walked just six.
The
24-year-old Webb was 3-1 with a 2.90 ERA in 54
games.
