According to Bruce Levine, as reported by Crazy Rumour Guy, Hendry has four teams interested in Corey; Nationals, Rangers, Orioles and Mariners. Go figure ... Hendry islooking for two young players in return. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com

I don't believe the Cubs quick movement of Corey through the organization hindered his development. If Corey has the ability to deal with Major League pitching (now that they have the book on him) he'll be able to deal with it when he has the opportunity. More than anything he has regressed badly over time which leads me to believe (at this point)he just doesn't have the abilty to adapt to pitchers who have adapted to his hitting style.

It appears that, indeed, Brian Giles did want to stay in San Diego. From SFGate.com "As one of the top outfielders on the free-agent market, Giles attracted strong interest from the New York Yankees, Toronto, Cleveland — where he broke into the majors in 1995 — and the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers are thought to have offered $34.5 million for three seasons. "Obviously, there were other deals out there," said Giles, the most consistent offensive player for a team that won the NL West with only 82 wins. "But I wanted to make a deal here." http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/12/01/sports/s134323S39.DTL[/code]
