The Padres had a comeback season, and were two wins away from winning the NL West and upending the San Francisco Giants. But a game #162 loss to the Giants ended the Padres season, and started SF's world series run. Through the past two years, people have been wondering when Gonzalez would finally leave San Diego, and now it has.

Gonzalez will be going to the Boston Red Sox, in return for a few prospects. The deal certainly helps the Red Sox, but now we have to know, will the Padres be able to replicate their 2010 season?
