| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Padres have acquired third baseman Vinny Castilla from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right- handed pitcher Brian Lawrence. The Nationals made the move, feeling Ryan Zimmerman, the fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft, is ready to move into the starting role at third base. The 38-year-old Castilla, a two-time All-Star, hit .253 with 12 home runs, 36 doubles and 66 RBI in 142 games with the Nationals last season. He finished 2005 ranked second among all NL t |

WASHINGTON (AP) - Third baseman Vinny Castilla was traded by the Washington Nationals to the San Diego Padres for right-hander Brian Lawrence and cash Thursday night. The move paves the way for Ryan Zimmerman, the No. 4 overall pick in June's amateur draft, to start at third for the Nationals next season. General manager Jim Bowden thanked Castilla ``for his many contributions during our inaugural season,'' then added: ``This trade, however, clears a path for Ryan Zimmerman, who we believe will be a fixture |

WASHINGTON (AP) - Members of the District of Columbia Council approved a measure Tuesday to strengthen the city's financing plan for a new baseball stadium for the Washington Nationals. The 10-2 vote approved changes sought by Wall Street bond traders, enabling the city to pursue a $535 million bond sale at investment grade, saving the city millions in debt service costs.

Ohka was 4-3 with a 3.33 ERA before coming to the Brewers, but he compiled a 7-6 record with a 4.35 earned run average with Milwaukee. Victor Santos was miserable, finishing 4-13 with a 4.57 ERA in 24 starts. The team did give Rick Helling seven st |

With the nation's capital as a majestic backdrop, the Nationals quickly became baseball's darlings during the first half of the season. A 10-game winning streak from June 2-12 propelled the Nats to a 52-36 first half and first-place in the balanced National League East.
