8/31 20:15: A source from the Padres says via FOXSports’ Ken Rosenthal, “all quiet . . . don’t expect anything.” Rosenthal adds that it’s not for a lack of effort, the team just couldn’t pull off a deal for a starting pitcher.

8/31 14:34: FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal tweets that the San Diego Padres are looking for starting pitching. Rosenthal says nothing is close at this time.

Some starting pitchers that could be moved include Baltimore Orioles’ Kevin Millwood or Los Angeles Dodgers’ Ted Lilly. Pure speculation, but a long-shot for the Padres could be right-handed pitcher Mark Prior who has had two previous and unsuccessful Minor League stints with the Padres. Prior signed with Orange County of the independent Golden Baseball League earlier this month.

Yesterday, Bill Center of The San Diego Union-Tribune said the Padres attempts to acquire Dodgers’ starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda ended over the weekend when the Dodgers revoked Kuroda from waivers. The two teams were negotiating a waiver trade when the Dodgeres decided to pull him from waivers.
