Pads Gunning for Sheff?

From Ken Rosenthal at FOXSports.com:

The lingering question is whether the Padres will further boost their offense by trading for Braves second baseman Marcus Giles and Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield....

The Padres might prefer a free-agent option to Giles, major-league sources say, while the Yankees have balked at their offer of right-handed reliever Scott Linebrink for Sheffield.

And this was before Lady Drew opted out of his contract. But don't be surprised if Drew ends up back in the NL West, a division in which just about every team could use him...

...even the Dodgers. From Ken Gurnick's article at Dodgers.com:

Drew's agent, Scott Boras, said the move was a "business decision" and that Drew would like to discuss a new contract with the Dodgers.

Hmmm, with that injury history? I hope not.
