Yes, I know this has been hashed over ad nauseum.
With tomorrow being the deadline for players without exposing them to the waiver process, I thought I would take one last stab at the question and the offers that have been reported for him.
Lets start with the offers I have read today.
According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Red Sox are reportedly offering pitchers Clay Buchholz, Junichi Tazawa and young slugger Lars Anderson as part a 5 for 1 trade.
For me this makes little sense for either team.
1st Tazawa signed with the Red Sox for less money because he wanted to ework win their program designed for Japanese pitchers. There is little chance the Red Sox would want to foment ill will with the Japanese players and teams over one trade.
2nd, the Padres have a good prospect ready to take over at 1B which is why they are considering trading Gonzalez in the first place. Why would they take Anderson? IT would just mean another prospect has to change positions or languish in the minors.
Well in reality that is the only trade offer I read today so I guess the answer is no.

Dont Look Now, but the Padres are on a Win Streak
Thursday July 30, 2009
After today's 7-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds at the Great American Ballpark, the San Diego Padres have won 3 straight games.
Its the first winning streak of 3 games or more since the end of their 9 game winning streak that ended on May 25th.
Today Tim Stauffer went 7 strong innings allowing 7 hits, 2 walks and just 1 run for his first win since 2006.
With Stauffer pitching well in his 4 starts this season, Mat Latos showing that he may be a front line type pitcher and the addition of the promising 23 year old Sean Gallagher, the 2010 rotation is really shaping up to be both a young and a good one with Peavy and Young leading the way.

Latos looking like the real deal after 3 starts
Wednesday July 29, 2009
After 3 major league starts, Mat Latos has 2 wins and a 2.70 ERA after throwing an absolute gem today against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Band Box, er..I mean Ballpark.
Latos gave up only one hit in 7 innings tonight, it just happened to be a solo home run by Jerry Hairston. One bad pitch in 86 is a pretty damn good day on the mound.
It was his longest appearance of the season and brought his total innings to 16 2/3 for the Padres and 89 for the season.
The Padres front office has said they would like to limit him to about 100 innings this year, about double his 55 innings in 2008, so we may only see 2 more starts from him before he is shut down for the rest of the season.
Watching Latos dominate so far this year and the official announcement that Sean Gallagher is the PTBNL in the Scott Hairston trade, gives me hope for the 2010 Padres pitching staff.
