In an article from Bill Center of the San Diego Union Tribune on Saturday, the San Diego Padres tried to get a 3 or 4 year deal done with SS Khalil Greene.
When asked about the conversations between the Padres and Greene's agent Mike Milchin, Padres' GM Kevin Towers said “We explored a longer contract with Greene's agent the last couple of weeks, but we heard back that they weren't interested in what we proposed.”
Towers was then asked if a long term deal would eventually get done. His response is surprising.
“A long-term contract with Khalil at this time is probably doubtful, I don't know, it might not be able to get done. Khalil's family is on the East Coast and I think there are some health concerns."
A thought that the Padres' front office may have to consider is trading the Greene to an east coast team, but they will look for the right package in order to pull the trigger. Greene is one of the best young shortstops in the game, and a player the Padres don't want to lose, but they may have no choice.
