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.

I think it will depend on if Cashman can talk Mini-Steinbrenner out of trading away his top 3 prospects for him.

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.

"Whoa... You can't say stuff like that!"
"I get it Chief. I'll play ball. You just gotta blow the whistle and call the fouls. Alright?"

Better idea

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

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

by TheAxManCometh on Dec 11, 2008 12:19 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Wood was a monster prospect not too long ago

Maybe “we” could buy on the low side.

by SR on Dec 11, 2008 1:00 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

ummm your obviously not familiar with Padres baseball...

we like to buy high and sell low thank you very much!

by Steve (Grey Suit) on Dec 11, 2008 1:23 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

correction

buy low, promise of a high, then see them go lower.

Yeah, we don't even bother looking if we can't buy low

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.
