Nestor Cortes apologized to the Milwaukee Brewers in a classy social media post after he was traded to the San Diego Padres last week.

The Brewers have traded for a reliever at the deadline every full season inside this competitive window, so Shelby Miller's addition makes sense. With the Diamondbacks selling big-time, he was a sensible acquisition, even though he may not be ready right away because of injury.

Dylan Cease remains a part of the Padres starting rotation. Moreover, the team acquired left-hander Nestor Cortes from the Brewers just before Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline.
