Padres non-tender Brazelton, hope to re-sign him

The San Diego Padres allowed Dewon Brazelton and Craig Breslow to become free agents on Tuesday night, but the team hopes to re-sign both pitchers.
The Padres acquired Brazelton from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Dec. 8 for third baseman Sean Burroughs.
"I think we'll sign him back," general manager Kevin Towers said. "We wanted to negotiate a better deal. We lose exclusivity, but we were down the road with both of them. We're hoping we'll be able to sign those two back."
The 25-year-old Brazelton was Tampa Bay's opening-day starter last season, going 1-8 with a 7.61 ERA in eight starts and 12 relief appearances. Breslow had a 2.20 ERA in 14 relief appearances.
The Padres also allowed backup catcher Miguel Olivo to become a free agent.
San Diego and backup catcher Dave Ross agreed to a $500,000, one-year deal. He can earn another $25,000 if he starts 85 games.
