According to FOX Sports, the Padres want to trade either Jason Bartlett or Orlando Hudson.

The Friars are on a cost-cutting mission this winter and are prepared to hand regular playing time to some of their younger backups. Bartlett makes $5.5 million next season with a $5.5 million option (or $1.5 million buyout) for 2013. Hudson is set to earn $5.5 million with an $8 million club option (or $2 million buyout) for 2013. The San Diego front office should get some phone calls from clubs desperate for infield depth.
