FOX Sports’ Tracy Ringolsby reports that the Padres are looking to “dump” Orlando Hudson this winter.

In other words, San Diego seeks a trade that would allow the team to get rid of Hudson’s $5.5 million commitment for 2012. And they’re not expecting much in return. The 33-year-old second baseman batted just .246 with a .681 OPS in 119 games for the Padres this past year. He’s also taken a step back defensively.
