Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Padres are leaning against trading Chase Headley this offseason. Headley has been mentioned as a possible trade chip for a while now, but the Padres are encouraged by their second-half surge and think they could compete next season. The 28-year-old is making just $3.475 million this season and remains under team control through 2014. If the Padres keep Headley around, Jedd Gyorko's future would be at second base.
