According to Scott Miller of CBSSports.com, the Phillies had the Padres ask Greg Maddux if he would accept a trade there. Maddux told Padres GM Kevin Towers he would not. Towers continues to be limited to the West Coast as he tries to move Maddux’s remaining $3.3MM salary.
Tom Krasovic says the Dodgers are the one plausible option, and they’re not interested at this time. They should probably look into it though. The Giants could be buyers, but only with an eye on ’09.
