Getty Images Lefty reliever Brian Tallet is again on the move.
As reported late Saturday night by MLB.com beat writer Corey Brock, the Padres acquired the 34-year-old southpaw from the Pirates in a trade.
Pittsburgh will either get cash considerations in return from the Friars or a player to be named later.
In a span of nine months, Tallet has been with the Cardinals, Blue Jays, Bucs and now Padres. The Oklahoma City native has a 4.79 career ERA in over 240 major-league appearances. He will function as organizational relief depth this year for San Diego.

He manages to look both much older and much younger than 34 at the same time.

Tallet looks like he belongs on a Topps 1986 baseball card, preferably in one of those old White Sox Uniforms. The old Brewers logo would work, too.

Damn excrement, you stole my thunder. That’s exactly what that picture reminded me of. I miss those old cards with the thick-legged white guys with the mullets and cheesy mustaches.

The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was, when did the Cardinals get Frank Viola from the 80′s Twins?
