Towers said he was told that Peavy decided he didn't want to go to play close to home (he's from Alabama). His original list of five teams that he would consider meant just that -- that he would consider them. Well, apparently he considered Atlanta and declined. But ultimately he accepted a team that was not on the list.

This tells us two things.

First, KT got a lot of blame for torpedoing the talks with Atlanta, when it appears he did in fact have a deal in place and it was Peavy who shot it down.

Second, whoever made the decision to offer Peavy a NTC in the first place screwed up even bigger than we had previously thought.

Greg Maddux for manager.
