Padres Meet With Hoffman
MLB.com's Barry Bloom spoke to Padres closer Trevor Hoffman yesterday. Hoffman revealed that he met with GM Kevin Towers on Saturday, and came away with positive feelings about re-signing for '09. First, however, the Padres need to determine their payroll for next year.
Hoffman mentioned a desire for a multiyear deal, which could complicate the situation. The Padres surely want him back, but would they lock the 41 year-old in for two years? Perhaps one year with a vesting option would satisfy both parties. Hoffman will only explore the open market if the Padres don't want him back.

If he hits the FA market, I think he is a better closer option for the Mets than K-Rod.

Agreed.

The chances of Hoffman moving away from the west coast, or at least staying in the NL west are slim.
Heath Bell does not appear to be ready to take over the closer role, and the Pads don't appear to be players in the FA market.
Looks like Hoffman has some sudden leverage
