With two-years and $23MM left on his deal, Matthews wants out of Anaheim, according to Mike DiGiovanna of The LA Times.

... , beautifully. * OK, so Gary Matthews wants out of Anaheim . I can't really blame him. He makes every-day money and wants to be an every-day player. But if the Angels are able to accommodate him, he should kneel down and kiss the feet of Mike Scioscia for giving him 360 plate appearances this season, and also the feet of Arte Moreno for approving Matthews' $50 million contract. I mean, seriously. * ...

... The Story: Gary Matthews is demanding to be traded or released this off-season. The Monkey Says: Matthews wants to be an everyday player. I want to have a three-way with Megan Fox and Joanna Krupa. Neither of these things will be happening in my lifetime.
