Padres interested in Maddux?

[wrveres]

I am having trouble thinking of any other team that would be strongly interested in Maddux.

Just out of curiosity, how solid are his ties with the Braves' management?

I don't think Maddux would take any sort of discount contract from the Braves, since he's somewhat close w/ Mr. Players Union Tom Glavine. Padres are looking to make a Petco splash, but they really should look for a catcher first.

A.J. Pierzynski ...

they are going to trade Nady and a pitcher for him ....
