ORLANDO, Fla. — Greg Maddux, Andy Pettitte and Curt Schilling were the names in the news on the first day of the annual general managers' meetings.

Maddux stayed with the San Diego Padres, agreeing to a $10 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the talks said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had not yet announced the deal.

There was little doubt Maddux would return to the Padres. He went 14-11 with a 4.14 ERA this year for San Diego, which fell one win short of its third straight playoff appearance.

The new deal contains award bonuses, a no-trade clause and a suite on road trips, a person familiar with the contract said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Padres had not yet announced the agreement. The deal was first reported by ESPN.com.

Pettitte told the Yankees he was declining his $16 million option for next season because he still was uncertain whether he wanted to pitch again or retire. The 35-year-old left-hander had until Wednesday to decide on the option.

Schilling and the Boston Red Sox were making progress toward a contract that would allow him to remain with the World Series champions, a person familiar with those discussions said, speaking on condition of anonymity because a deal had not yet been struck. The progress was first reported on the Boston Herald's Web site.
