PEAVY UPDATE: Talks collapse, Cubs pull out of Peavy discussions
9:57 a.m.: The Jake Peavy trade talks have collapsed.
Padres General Manager Kevin Towers said Cubs GM Jim Hendry told him this morning the deal will not happen.
Moments ago Kevin Towers and Jim Hendry announced that the Peavy deal is dead.
But he said Hendry told him the Cubs are "moving on to other things."
"If he wants to go somewhere else, we need to sit down as an organization and discuss if we want to go through this process again," Towers said.
The Padres have not decided whether to announce that Peavy will be with the Padres in 2009. It sounds like they are either going to try and revive talks with the Cubs or encourage Peavy to choose another team to be traded to.
This deal isn't over until you know what...
There! Maybe now it's over.

ROSEANNE?

Maybe the Yankees?
Now that C.C is there.

I think it will depend on if Cashman can talk Mini-Steinbrenner out of trading away his top 3 prospects for him.
Grey Suit - December 11, 2008
ship him to the Yankees
we don’t have to play him every year, we (presumably) get better returns, and we can watch Big Game Jake choke time and time again on ESPN

Based on the money they are throwing around
At CC and possibly Burnett, Lowe and Pettite with Wang and Joba settled in the rotation, they don’t seem too interested in trying to develop Hughes and Kennedy. So maybe they’ll deal them instead.

Better idea
Step 1. Yankees bailout the Big 3.
Step 2. ????
Step 3. PROFIT!

Looks like Lyle Spencer at mlb.com
Is trying to stir up some Peavy-to-Angels rumors.
These notes just popped up on kffl.com:
I’ll post the real article when I find it.

Isn't Brandon Wood the same as Greene
with less defense? And hopefully its more then just two pitchers and a SS/3B semi prospect
TheAxManCometh - December 11, 2008
Wood was a monster prospect not too long ago
Maybe “we” could buy on the low side.
SR - December 11, 2008
ummm your obviously not familiar with Padres baseball...
we like to buy high and sell low thank you very much!
Grey Suit - December 11, 2008
correction
buy low, promise of a high, then see them go lower.
Sammy G - December 11, 2008
Yeah, we don't even bother looking if we can't buy low
'Eaters - December 11, 2008
Jake, don't look so upset
Oh, and you should return that wretched garb from whence it came, purging from your memory all lyrical arrangements such as shanties, chants, carols, refrains, or even lays relating to the Cubs. So it shall be written.
