Links for Wednesday... Chat today, 2pm CST. Word on the street is that ESPN was never in talks to buy Baseball Prospectus, and writer Joe Sheehan may be on the way out. Tony Massarotti expects the Red Sox to make a huge offer to Mark Teixeira. Padres outfielder BrianGiles doesn't expect to be traded this winter. If the team is in the tank next summer he might approve a deal, perhaps...
If anything, the Cubs would seem to have more interest in Padres right fielder BrianGiles (.404 career on-base percentage, .398 with 56 extra-base hits in 2008), who has one year and $9million left on his contract but also has no-trade rights. Peavy? ''I think it's only talk,'' said Piniella Lou downplays interest in Peavy :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Cubs
If the Padres successfully trade Jake Peavy, Khalil Greene and BrianGiles, as they have already attempted, their payroll will be probably wind up somewhere just north of the Marlins' payroll. ESPN - Buster Olney Blog
Interesting note from Buster Olney's Sunday blog post: San Diego nearly dealt BrianGiles to Boston and later to Oakland during the season, and it stands to reason that this winter the Padres will approach Giles about waiving his no-trade rights to facilitate a trade out of San Diego. (As of Saturday evening, they had not done this.) We knew that Giles vetoed a trade to...
Per the San Diego Union-Tribune: If Giles had accepted a trade to the Red Sox in August, the transfer would have given him a shot at his first World Series ring and secured him an $11 million salary for 2009.

Giles was at a Golf Tournament at Steele Canyon raising money for an old High School friend with health problems Giles is happy. The Padres still have an opportunity if they strengthen their bench and their bullpen because of how inconsistent the division is. Giles...

As expected, the Padres chose BrianGiles' $9MM option over the $3MM buyout today. Giles, 38 in January, hit .306/.398/.456 in 653 plate appearances this year. Defensively, he saved 20 bases compared to the average right fielder. Giles would be a great addition for teams like the Cubs, Phillies, Braves, and Rays, but he has full no-trade power.
... the rumors in this comment but there's the little tidbit where the Cubs had a deal in place for BrianGiles before last year's trade deadline and he turned it down. In theory, the Cubs would have been spared the last 2 months of Kosuke Fukudome suck and all that playoff controversy fun. As we also know, Giles turned down a chance to go to the Boston Red Sox on a waiver wire...
