Cameron Taking Deal With Padres, One Other Club

Free-agent center fielder Mike Cameron is discussing multi-year deals with the Padres and at least one other club, according to his agent Mike Nicotera. The level of interest in Cameron means that he will not remain in San Diego on a one-year deal if the Padres, as expected, offer him salary arbitration, Nicotera says. Two of the Padres' NL West rivals, the Dodgers and Giants, are among the clubs believed to be interested in Cameron.

The San Diego Padres on Monday finalized a $10 million, one-year contract with Greg Maddux who will return for at least one more season as their No. 3 starter.

Maddux, who turns 42 on April 14, agreed to terms of the deal two weeks earlier.
