Cards interested in Giles?
I found this while crusing some boards, and thought it might be of some interest here.
The game file: Giles could hit the jackpot
UNION-TRIBUNE
August 25, 2005
The price of Brian Giles is going up.
Not only will the right fielder be a free agent at the end of the season, he will likely be the Padres' Most Valuable Player.
Last night, the Granite Hills High graduate fell a homer short of becoming the first Padre to hit for the cycle.
His 3-for-5 effort pushed his season average to .299, and he is four walks shy of triple digits. In addition to walks – a category in which he leads the majors – Giles paces the Padres in runs scored, hits, doubles and RBI. He ranks fourth in the National League in on-base percentage.
And he is getting hotter – going 13-for-28 in his last six games with six RBI. So how much would Giles be worth?
Ryan Klesko stands to be the highest-paid Padre next year at $10.5 million. Giles is making $7 million this season. And teams such as the Cardinals, who tried to trade for Giles last night, might be in the bidding.

Tried to trade for him last night! OK so, mark the Cards as a definite lookout for a bigtime outfielder. Griffey a possibility if Giles is completely a no go?
Man, I would hate to see what this team looks like with someone like Giles on it. Imagine that. The Cards are something else.

Not sure Provi, I haven't seen anything solid on that yet. Bet if a deal was almost made, I am sure he probably has.

That article shouldn't have slipped past the editors the way it did. I'm pretty sure, as is almost everyone else on the Padres forum where this is being discussed, that the writer meant to state "...who tried to trade for him last month..."
They didn't even attribute a writer to the article

oh, and it'd be absolutly stupid for the Padres to trade Giles now. Weak division or not, they're still in a playoff race, and leading it at that.
