Re-grading the Mariners and Padres deal for Ty France

A few years ago, the Mariners and Padres swung a deal based around Ty France, Andres Munoz, and Austin Nola. We look back and re-grade the deal for both teams

Back in 2020, the Mariners were floundering through the shortened season, and were 13-22 heading into August 30th. Remember that it was only a 60-game season, so with 25 games left, the Mariners decided to become low-key sellers and make a move to improve the team in the long term. To do so, they called up their "rival" in the San Diego Padres to try and make something happen. For those who don't remember all the details, here is who moved around in that deal.

I wanted to take a look back at this trade and how it ended up for both teams after the recent Mariners' news relating to Ty France being placed on waivers, effectively ending his tenure with the Mariners. How do we grade this deal for both teams nearly 4 years after it's conception?

Let's go through each of them, checking on how the players have done with their new (at the time) teams, and see how they have progressed since then. Surprisingly, a lot of these players aren't even on rosters right now, which isn't what you would expect from a seven-player deal just shy of four years into it. Let's start off with the Padres.
