Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Padres and Chase Headley are unlikely to reach an agreement on a contract extension.
The 29-year-old third baseman is set to hit free agency after the 2013 season, and it appears as if he's going to test the market. The Padres made him an offer on a long-term deal at some point over the winter, but reportedly the two sides were so far apart that it didn't warrant further discussion. Motivated by his impending free agency, Headley could be poised for another big year in San Diego in 2014.
