Will Ohman, one of the top relievers left on the free agent market, has offers from the Pirates, Marlins and Padres on the table.

His agent said on Monday that Ohman plans to continue talking with the three teams before making a final decision.

"When Will gets an offer he's comfortable with, he's going to sign," agent Page Odle said. "Right now we continue to have dialogue with several teams on a pretty regular basis. There's no timetable."

Peavy Insists There Are 'No Hard Feelings'

After an offseason full of trade rumors, Padres pitcher Jake Peavy insists that he has "no hard feelings" towards the organization.

"There's no hard feelings," Peavy said. "I don't fault the Padres. They've got to do what they've got to do."

In November, general manager Kevin Towers said Peavy's chances of staying with the Padres didn't look good.

Jays Acquire 2004 No. 1 Overall Pick

The San Diego Padres traded minor league pitcher Matt Bush to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday for a player to be named or cash.

Bush, the No. 1 pick in the 2004 amateur draft, was designated for assignment Thursday, ostensibly to make room on the 40-man roster for slugger Cliff Floyd. However, hours after Floyd's signing was announced, the Padres acknowledged they were looking into another off-field incident involving Bush.

Police in suburban El Cajon later confirmed that the 23-year-old Bush was being investigated for allegedly assaulting members of a high school lacrosse team.

Originally drafted as a shortstop and given a $3.15 million signing bonus by his hometown team, Bush flopped as a position player with San Diego and was converted to pitcher.
