SAN DIEGO — Blake Snell gave up the ball in Game 6 of the World Series, shaking his head after manager Kevin Cash’s curious pitching change.

With three years left on his contract, Snell hardly considered that could be his final moment as a Tampa Bay Ray.

The San Diego Padres, determined to go all the way, just wanted him that much.

The upstart Padres finalized their acquisition of the ace left-hander from the Rays on Tuesday, sending four prospects in exchange for the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner.
