Blue Jays GM Pat Gillick and Padres GM Joe McIlvaine originally talked about just trading Joe Carter for Fred McGriff.Diamond Dreams: 20 Years of Blue Jays Baseball, Stephen Brunt, p.261, Penguin Books, 0-14-023978-2 The Padres were losing Jack Clark and needed a new first baseman. The Blue Jays had John Olerud ready to take over at first base but were losing outfielder George Bell. Gillick decided to up the ante by trying to get Roberto Alomar. Gillick figured that with Garry Templeton in the twilight of his career, Fernández would be an adequate replacement. Alomar feuded with Padres manager Greg Riddoch and the thinking was that Bip Roberts and Joey Cora could platoon at second base. Alomar and Carter would go on to help the Toronto Blue Jays win the 1992 World Series and 1993 World Series. Regular season Atlanta Braves pitchers Kent Mercker, Mark Wohlers and Alejandro Pena combined for a no-hitter on September 11, 1991 in a 1-0 shutout win over the San Diego Padres. The 13th no-hitter in Braves franchise history, attendance was 20,477 at Fulton-County Stadium.100 Things Braves Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die: Revised and Updated, Jack Wilkinson, Triumph Books, Chicago, 2019, ISBN 978-1-62937-694-3, p.172 Opening Day starters Shawn Abner Jerald Clark Tony Fernández Tony Gwynn Fred McGriff Jim Presley Bip Roberts Benito Santiago Ed Whitsonhttp://baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/roster.php?y=1991&t=SDN 1991 San Diego Padres Roster by Baseball Almanac Season standings San Diego Padres Record vs. opponents SD Notable transactions April 5, 1991: Mike Aldrete was signed as a free agent by the Padres.Mike Aldrete at Baseball Reference May 10, 1991: Mike Aldrete was released by the San Diego Padres.
