  • Jake Peavy to the White Sox

    Deal is pending Peavy's approval......

    Story from ESPN:

    The San Diego Padres have agreed to trade staff ace Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox and are waiting for Peavy to decide if he will waive his no-trade clause, sources tell ESPN.

    Peavy has a full no-trade clause and can veto the deal.

    ESPN's Peter Gammons reported that according to sources, the White Sox will send the Padres four players to complete the deal.

    Sources told Gammons that White Sox shortstop prospect Gordon Beckham is not among the players in the deal. Beckham was the eighth overall pick in last year's amateur draft.

    ESPNChicago.com's Bruce Levine reported that White Sox players in the deal include left-handed pitcher Clayton Richard and left-hander Aaron Poreda, a former No. 1 draft pick.

    Peavy called White Sox right-hander Scott Linebrink last night for his opinion about going to Chicago and got strong feedback, Gammons reported.

    "Jake called me [Wednesday] afternoon to ask about what it's like here in Chicago," said Linebrink, according to ESPNChicago.com's Levine. "I think he's ready to move on, but I can't tell you for sure he's going to accept the deal. Losing 100 games, like they did last year, wears on a player.

    "Right now, I'd say it's 50-50 as to whether he accepts it or not. He'll get with his family today and make a decision."

    Linebrink was Peavy's teammate in San Diego.

    The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday that the two teams were near a deal and that according to team personnel, Peavy met with Padres manager Bud Black late Wednesday night to discuss the possibility. Peavy declined comment after meeting with Black, the newspaper reported.

    The Padres were said to be close to dealing Peavy to the Chicago Cubs during the offseason, but that trade did not materialize.

    Peavy, who won the 2007 NL Cy Young Award, has a 89-67 career record with a 3.27 ERA. In 2007 he earned the pitching Triple Crown by leading the National League with 19 wins, 240 strikeouts and a 2.54 ERA.

    Peavy is due to earn $11 million this season. Padres GM Kevin Towers has said the Padres are about $5 million above the $40 million player payroll that the team's majority owner, John Moores, has set for this season, according to the Union-Tribune.

    Peavy is currently 3-5 with a 3.82 ERA for the Padres, who are 18-22 and third in the NL West, 10 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers.

    ESPN baseball analyst Peter Gammons, ESPN The Magazine senior baseball writer Buster Olney and Bruce Levine of ESPN.com Chicago contributed to this report.

      They say he may not definitely allow the trade, as the Sox aren't one of the teams on his "desired list"

        I can see why as the Sox need hitting. There's only 2 teams below the white sox in runs scored this season and that's Giants & Padres.

        Right now it's like him going to a team of the same quality.

          Seems like Peavy is just trying to get some other "more desirable" teams involved.

            Peavy isn't going to the White Sox or any other AL team.

                Thanks, but no thanks!

                Peavy hits the Veto button and declines the trade to the White Sox.

                          Then lets say over an entire season.
                          Actually in all fairness the Red Sox had some interest in this guy during the last few years, and they have a lot more information and stats on this guy. at their disposal than I do-so really who knows how how he would really do.

                            Jake Peavy is a STUD in any league. Would his ERA be a little higher in the AL? Probably, but when you trade the pitcher spot for a DH in the lineup, that is to be expected. He would win a HELL of a lot more games though. I can promise you that!
