The San Diego Padres have acquired infielder Todd Walker from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for minor league pitching prospect Jose Ceda.
The left-handed Walker, who has hit everywhere he has been, could be a very good fit in Petco Park.
In 94 games with the Cubs this season, Walker is batting .277 with a .352 on-base percentage, six homers and 40 RBI. The Padres likely would use him at third base, a position Walker hasn't played regularly since early in his career in the mid-1990s, when Minnesota groomed him to play third because Chuck Knoblauch was their second baseman.
Walker has played second base full time since 1998, but with rookie Josh Barfield having a solid season at second, Walker likely would play third, perhaps fill in some at second and first base, and pinch-hit.
The Cubs are expected to pay most of what remains of Walker's $2.5 million salary for 2006. Walker is eligible for free-agency this winter. They would get a minor-league player in return.

The Padres have expressed interest in trading for Greg Maddux, who would have to waive his no-trade clause in order for him to come to San Diego.
If Maddux decides he would like to play for a contender, the Cubs will be willing to oblige, but won't give him away, as they will seek a proven Major-League player or a solid prospect in return.
