Alderson: Peavy trade still possible even if agreement isn't made this week

Sandy Alderson Report (MP3)

  • There is nothing happening at the Winter Meetings
  • You can't compete with the money the Yankees are spending.  "It looks a little obscene".
  • There has historically been a correlation between how much you spend and how much you win.
  • It's possible that other clubs may want to go after Peavy, but the Cubs are still the focus right now.  Things happen quickly this time of year (could have fooled me).
  • Alderson wouldn't agree Towers, that they sold low on Khalil.  Their were two possible deals and the one they took was far better.  The Padres were not ecstatic about the trade.  
  • There aren't many candidates inside the organization to replace Khalil besides Luis Rodriguez.
  • The Padres are signing for value rather than position.
  • The Padres don't have a plan for Clay Hensley.
  • If Jake Peavy is not traded by the end of the week that doesn't mean he will be a Padre next season.
  • Darren Smith didn't ask Alderson about Hoffman but he said the Padres have not contacted him yet.  The Angels are not interested in Hoffman.

I think

When KT said we sold low on Khalil I think he meant we should have traded him last off-season. I have no doubt that this was the best deal out there for a injury prone SS who can barely stay above the Mendoza line.

It made me “giddy” with delight when I heard Riggins say that the Angels were not interested in Trevor at all.

I figured out the correlation of spending money and winning a while back on my blog…yes you need to spend some money to win (obviously) but spending the most money does not definitely equal success. In fact when I did the AL spending money was less of a factor than the NL. I thought that was interesting.

And I said it in the beginning and I’m still saying it…..Jake Peavy will be a Padre on opening day 2009.
