According to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan, the Rangers have acquired Mike Adams, not Heath Bell, from the Padres.
Ken Rosenthal's initial report was apparently incorrect. Adams, 33, is actually a more dominant reliever than Bell and is under contract through the end of the 2012 season. He's posted a sparkling 1.13 ERA through 48 innings this season and will fit nicely into a setup role with the Rangers. Pitching prosepcts Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland are headed San Diego's way.
