BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : Brewers Trade Sheffield to Padres

Infielder Gary Sheffield, who criticized teammates and team officials during four often turbulent seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, was traded to the San Diego Padres.

Sheffield and minor league pitcher Geoff Kellogg were sent to San Diego for right-handed pitcher Ricky Bones and two minor leaguers, shortstop Jose Valentin and outfielder Matt Mieske.

Sheffield recently criticized former manager Tom Trebelhorn and team president Bud Selig for pressuring him to play hurt last season, when he batted .194 while playing in only 50 games.

Padre right-hander Ed Whitson has a torn ligament in his right elbow and might start the season on the 60-day disabled list.

The Cincinnati Reds put relief pitcher Rob Dibble on the 15-day disabled list because of tendinitis in his right shoulder.

Doug Drabek homered against Roger Clemens and became the first Pittsburgh starter to pitch seven innings in an exhibition, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Bradenton, Fla.
