Chase Headley Extension Remains Unlikely
It still appears unlikely that the Padres will sign Chase Headley (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/headlch01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) to an extension, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports (http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24475253/improving-pads-made-quiet-try-for-headley-but-free-agency-looms).*"This has been a topic for a couple years. There's been dialogue. Both sides have tried. We just haven't been able to agree to the essential deal parameters," says GM Josh Byrnes. "There are ** active discussions. But the door's always open."
Heyman **tes that both Headley and the Padres agree that they aren't likely to find common ground on an extension. Last month, Headley told reporters (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/02/headley-unlikely-to-talk-contract-until-after-season.html) that it would be "**t fair" to his teammates if extension talks distracted the team from its goals, and that it seemed likely that the two sides would hold off on extension talks until after the season, at which point Headley will be a free agent.*
Headley hit .250/.347/.400 in 600 plate appearances in 2013, significantly worse than his banner 2012 season. Headley **ted last month that the large difference between the two seasons made it tough to negotiate a deal. Headley is represented by Excel Sports Management.
