San Diego general manager Kevin Towers said Friday morning that he's received substantial interest in players who will be free agents following the season: pitchers Randy Wolf, Greg Maddux and first baseman Tony Clark. Towers indicated that he had a discussion earlier this week with Maddux -- who has a no-trade clause -- to inform him of what teams have expressed interested so far. Towers said Maddux would consider his options (waiving the no-trade clause or staying put) over the All-Star break. Wolf, a left-handed, is receiving interest as well but has said he wouldn't mind staying in San Diego. As for Clark, who could get moved in the next few days, Arizona might be a nice fit for him.

I can't see contenders lining up too deep for Maddox considering how badly he ran out of gas last September.

Mad Dog's records, I don't care about career numbers, are crap this year. I'd be hard-pressed to take a chance on him. He needs to go back to Atlanta.

Wolf will go. Clark probably too. Maybe a few other pieces. I think Maddux stays.

I disagree. I believe the first to go is Maddux. Gives a contender innings, experience, and competetiveness.
