This Brewers report has them looking for a 3B and putting Braun in LF…Obviously they let Jenkins walk and waived Mench for a reason…Outside of TG Jr, is there a trade possibility here? Frankly, we have two 3 baggers and if that is what they need…

You have to think they would value Headly more than Blalock.

63: The quote I heard from Sandy and keep seeing in print is the Padres offer is “one of the two or three biggest offers” in team history. That’s not going to get it done, unless he’s saying the only bigger contract is Jake’s extension. My guess is it’s 4/48 at the most. I will be stunned if we end up with Fukudome.

Cubs may be going to $50mm on Fukudome…The Pads have NO interest in Bonds…there has been no contact between the Pads and Aaron Rowand…”It wouldn’t hurt” Anonelli to get more AB’s in AAA…

FUKUDOME IS COMING…

To MLB…his decision on which offer to take is still up in the air. Pads and Cubs are still the front runners.

From the Washington Post beat writer…

“At the risk of burying the lead here, I heard from two people last week that the Nationals had spoken to the Padres about the possibility of trading for shortstop Khalil Greene. One person told me Chad Cordero would have been the centerpiece headed to San Diego, but another said it would have been Jon Rauch. With conflicting information, I never put it in the paper, and both people said the talks had fizzled.
But the other thing that came up: Lopez might have gone to San Diego as the shortstop (as well as Nook Logan, perhaps) to replace Greene.”

I know…I know…No I did not make this up. It was from his blog post about the Nats Middle Infield.

As for the Padres' pitching, often lauded as the league's best, their ERA was 4.42 on the road, eighth in the NL.

As for the most important offensive stat -- runs -- the Padres were fourth in the league in road games. Better than the Rockies and behind only the Phillies, Mets and Atlanta.
