EDGE Analysis

Wick was recently designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Wednesday after the team acquired right-hander Bud Norris. He will provide some added organizational depth to the Padres' bullpen, although he will in all likelihood begin the campaign at the Triple-A level. Wick has yet to play in a major-league contest entering his age-25 season, and he recorded a 5.40 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with Triple-A Memphis in 2017.

EDGE Analysis

Wick wound up being the casualty to the club's deal with Bud Norris, who took his place on the 40-man roster. In 2017, Wick spent time bouncing around the minor-league system and struggled to find his footing at the Triple-A level in just 16.2 innings of work. The converted pitcher will likely return to Triple-A Memphis for the start of this year and try to improve upon a 5.40 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.

Wick was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals added Wick to the 40-man roster in the offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but he was never under any serious consideration for an Opening Day roster spot.
