Carlos Quentin, a two-time Major League Baseball All-Star outfielder, was traded from the Chicago White Sox to the San Diego Padres on Saturday.

Padres general manager Josh Byrnes traded Quentin while they were both at Arizona only to regret the move after the outfielder became a hit with the White Sox.

This time, he sent developmental-level pitchers Pedro Hernandez and Simon Castro to Chicago to make Quentin the Padres’ starting left-fielder.

“Having a chance to get him back became very appealing,” Byrnes said.

Quentin, who lives in San Diego, belted 105 home runs in four seasons with the White Sox and provides power for the heart of the Padres batting lineup.

“It’s exciting,” Quentin said. “It’s a positive for me.”

The Padres were worst in the major leagues last season in batting against right-handed pitchers with a .229 average.
