White Sox's Jairo Iriarte: Traded to White Sox
The Padres traded Jairo Iriarte, Drew Thorpe, Steven Wilson and Samuel Zavala to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Dylan Cease, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.Iriarte split time between High-A and Double-A last season, recording a 3.49 ERA and 1.28 WHIP alongside a 128:45 K:BB across 90.1 innings between the two levels. The 22-year-old prospect earned a spot on the Padres' 40-man roster during the offseason and had been in contention to make the Opening Day roster, but Iriarte was optioned to Triple-A after throwing three shutout innings during spring training. With the White Sox, Iriarte's chances at cracking an Opening Day roster are renewed given Chicago's weak MLB pitching staff, though it's possible the Sox keep him in Triple-A to continue his development.

Padres' Jairo Iriarte: Optioned to Triple-A
Jairo Iriarte was optioned to Triple-A El Paso by the San Diego Padres on Sunday.Iriarte was added to the Padres' 40-man roster over the offseason and impressed during his time in big-league camp, yielding just one unearned run over three innings. The 22-year-old had seemed in contention for a roster spot, but the team needing to make some early cuts because of its March 20-21 series versus the Dodgers in South Korea probably didn't help Iriarte's bid. He's put himself in position for a promotion at some point this season, however.

Padres' Jairo Iriarte: Easing into things at Double-A
Jairo Iriarte has struck out seven in four perfect innings across his first two appearances out of the bullpen for Double-A San Antonio.Iriarte was one of the better pitching prospects in a shallow San Diego Padres system entering the year, but he was good enough in 14 starts for High-A Fort Wayne that he is now one of the better pitchers in all the minors. The 6-foot-2 righty added three ticks of velocity to his fastball over the offseason, according to Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs, and he now sits in the mid-90s with a terrific changeup and slider. The lanky 21-year-old logged a 3.10 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 61 innings at High-A before getting promoted to Double-A on July 14. He has been working in relief since the promotion, so it's possible the Padres are preparing him to join the big-league bullpen down the stretch. In the long run though, he would appear to have the arsenal to start in the majors if his command holds up.
