The Padres are "close" to signing Greg Maddux, who has a home in San Diego. The terms are undisclosed but it is to be a one-year deal with a club option for the second year. Guaranteed money is the only question beyond the first year, but it believe that the deal will be announce before the Winter Meeting is ajourn this Thursday. About the Manny Ramirez deal, don't expect San Diego to be a major player in this deal. Boston G.M. Theo Epstein is asking for Jake Peavy, Scott Linebrick, and prospects for Manny and the Padres are reluctant to give up Peavy because he's due $4.5 million next season (less than what Barry Zito and Jason Schmidt are looking for) and has either finish number one in ERA or strikeouts in a single season all before the age of 25, despite a forgettable 2006. Even if they get Ramirez, they have to negotiate a contract extension as part of the deal, which means his contract could last until 2010 (or when he turns 40).

i'd ought to assert both signings were undesirable. both pitchers are previous. David Wells is a has-been, at the same time as Greg Maddux is dropping his understand-the thanks to be a fantastic pitcher. The Padres opt to be concentrated on youthful pitchers that can help them down the line. Any crew contained in the NL West can win the dept, even if the communities that get in under no circumstances have proper tier placing out pitching. they opt to make a commerce for a pitching prospect, or concentration on searching some contained in the draft. Maddux and Wells are harm companies and the Padres won't be able to arise with the money for to have injuries of their placing out rotation. i imagine both one among those signings were mistakes. they ought to have went after someone who can help them for more desirable than a million or 2 years. P.S. Peavy needs to have a extra efficient 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to assist the rotation if the Padres might want to be a valid playoff contender.

Please take Manny Ramirez and his 20 million contract off of our hands. We'll settle for Jake Peavy and a few of your top prospects ;-)
