Had to see that coming sooner or later

All in all, not a bad move for the Padres. Wouldn’t be terribly surprised to see Will resigned in the offseason to return as a 4th OF, though he may find a better offer to start on a rebuilding team (and potentially build more value by playing in a hitter friendly stadium).
Still though, 6 weeks of Venable for a lottery ticket catcher with a lot of pop, and what looks like a solid middle-to-late inning reliever, seems like a decent swap. Plus, it frees up CF for Jankowski in the near term.

Doubt we re-sign Venable. Outfield is getting crowded. Need to focus on getting a SS and more starting pitchers.
