Looks like neither are staying
Gary Sheffield, OF
Nov. 14 -- Gary Sheffield, the agent, has already chatted with Yankees GM Brian Cashman about Sheffield, the player. The free-agent outfielder, who represents himself, has been candid about his interest to play in pinstripes, prompting the Braves to swing into quick action. Braves GM John Schuerholz and assistant GM Frank Wren paid Sheffield a visit in his Tampa home before making their way to Phoenix for the general managers' meeting. But don't be quick to jump to conclusions about how much Sheff loves New York -- he may not have an agent, but he does have a publicist, and that's New York-based Marvet Britto. There's a combination to be leery of: a free agent and a publicist.
Greg Maddux, RHP
Nov. 13 -- Matters remain deadly silent between the Braves and Greg Maddux, reinforcing the belief the right-hander will be allowed to leave Georgia and seek the 11 wins he needs for 300 elsewhere. San Diego and St. Louis are possible destinations.http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_news.jsp?ymd=20031106&content_id=600299&vkey=news_mlb_nd&fext=.jsp#sheffield
Makes me sad.
