There is no way that San Diego Padres general manager Josh
Byrnes exits the offseason with the addition of free agent Jason Marquis being
his only “significant move,” a rival executive told Ken Rosenthal of FOX
Sports.
One rival executive says there is no chance that general
manager Josh Byrnes completes his off-season with the addition of free-agent
right-hander Jason Marquis as his only significant move.
Rosenthal notes that if the Padres are to make another
significant addition this winter, it’s unlikely to come from the free agent

numbers to veterans such as Joe Saunders at a fraction of the price.
While they’re not expected to enter back into the free agent
market, Rosenthal says the Padres could still trade for a pitcher. He lists Detroit
Tigers’ Rick Porcello, Kansas City Royals’ Luke Hochevar or Los Angeles
Dodgers’ Aaron Harang as possible targets for the club.

Daily Friar 1.9.13
As you may have noticed, there was no Daily Friar yesterday. I will of course take full responsibility for that one as I was making the journey back to San Diego from Phoenix and frankly just didn’t have time to do it. So that means today’s post will have articles from yesterday as well as today, so hopefully that will make up for it. The spring training roster is starting to...

Contrary to the ideas put out there by Ken Rosenthal, I did have an issue with the way things went down yesterday. In my eyes, anyone who did not have an issue with the shutout yesterday is blissfully ignorant. Rosenthal will not even catch wind of what I say though – I am a non-voter, someone who has an unimportant opinion anyway. But there were a few things that I really wanted...

Sources: Upton rejected deal to Seattle
By Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi

Justin Upton is still a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, but not for a lack of effort by the D-Backs in trying to move him.
The Diamondbacks were in agreement on a trade that would have sent Upton to the Seattle Mariners, but the two-time All-Star rejected the proposed deal, major-league sources say.
The Mariners are one of...
