Thanks to the goodness that is Ben Maller for spotting this, Padres GM Kevin Towers told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the Pad squad has the cash to potentially make a big splash prior to the trade deadline.General Manager Kevin Towers said the club once again has "contingency funds" that would allow it to increase the payroll this summer, when outfielders such as Ichiro Suzuki – a Towers favorite – Andruw Jones and Torii Hunter could be on the trade block if their teams are out of playoff contention.Right now San Diego's payroll is 24th in the league, but that figure is somewhat deceiving, as it will escalate when certain bonuses are paid. Regardless, the current outfielders are Mike Cameron, Brian Giles, and Terrmel Sledge, so one of those guys would fit in nicely with Giles and Cameron, bumping Sledge to the bench. Let's not forget that there have already been plenty of rumors this year that Ichiro (pictured) won't end the season in Seattle.
