Cameron, Padres Fan The Fire In Arizona
As early as April 2007 the Padres and Mike Cameron had seemed destined to go their separate ways, but the flames were rekindled down the stretch and the flirtation continued well into December to the point that a re-signing seemed likely.
Of course Cameron ran off to Milwaukee, but the two parties remain embroiled in a he said/they said with little reconciliation in sight. Tom Krasovic has the latest chapter in which Cameron shoots down the rumor he took a discount in signing with the Brewers, saying "I'm not stupid," and claiming the Padres punched his ticket when Jim Edmonds was brought to town via trade.
General Manager Kevin Towers claims Cameron's side was looking for 2-years/$10MM, so the Padres never even made an offer. “Why make an offer if they said they're not going to take less than $10 million?" Towers said.

Like many free agents this offseason, they got less than the market of the previous years. You took a chance to test the market, and you lost. Im just happy you are gone. Ive watched you loose too many balls in the light, strike out during a key AB, and have a low batting avg.
