Padres still talking to the Cardinals about Edmonds?


Previously mentioned in the San Diego Union Tribune, the Padres have interest in acquiring Cardinals CF'er Jim Edmonds. According to Jim Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Edmonds has a full no-trade clause but would waive it for a Southern California team only.

Knowing that, you have to look at the Dodgers and Angels, but neither team has any interest or have talked to the Cardinals about Edmonds, which leaves the San Diego Padres, who have confirmed having talks regarding the center fielder.

The question I have about this possible trade is, who would be heading to St. Louis in the deal? From the article posted, the Cardinals are looking for pitching, but I can't imagine the Padres would give up any of their top pitching prospects to acquire an aging outfielder that's past his prime.

Both teams are expected to check into registration late this afternoon in Nashville, so we'll see if these talks progress over the next 3-4 days.
