Padres Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Padres appear to be in total free-fall, although little official news comes out of the club these days. Kevin Towers, once the most open and personable of general managers, has become a "no comment" machine. And owner John Moores has all but disappeared from the public as questions continue to arise about the viability of his stewardship amidst his on-going divorce problems. At every level of public relations, the Padres are taking a beating as rumors spread that the payroll budget for 2009 is going to be cut much further than originally expected. Not only are 2007 Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy and shortstop Khalil Greene apparently headed out the door, but the Padres yanked their $4 million offer for all-time saves leader Trevor Hoffman off the...
