Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said Sunday that he is open to the idea of a contract extension for the newly-acquired Carlos Quentin. "Our payroll model is setting up well," explained Byrnes. "We're not in total go-for-it mode, but we can make some choices. We acquired Carlos with the thought that we could extend him." Quentin, 29, is entering his final year of arbitration and will see a significant raise from his $5.05 million salary after batting .254/.340/.499 with 24 homers and 77 RBI this past season with the White Sox.
