&lt;p&gt;LAS VEGAS -- Padres star pitcher &lt;strong&gt;Jake Peavy&lt;/strong&gt; is &quot;frustrated'' by the team's inability to trade him after threatening to do so for months and &quot;shaken'' over the Padres' latest failure to deal him to the Cubs after weeks of talks, Peavy's agent &lt;strong&gt;Barry Axelrod&lt;/strong&gt; said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We tried to cooperate as best we could,'' Axelrod told SI.com in a phone interview. &quot;Frankly, Jake is frustrated now more than ever. And I'm more frustrated than ever.''&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trade talks between the Padres and Cubs broke down with Cubs people complaining about the way San Diego was doing business. But if the Cubs are annoyed (and they are, as several Cubs officials expressed annoyance over the Padres continuing push for more players and the media leaks coming from somewhere that were revelatory about which Cubs were being included in potential deals), Peavy is almost as annoyed.&lt;/p&gt;</intro>

        <body>the cubs arent going to win a title unless they improve their pitching staff or get some OF help. They were dominant in the NL last year but they wont be in this upcoming season because the Mets have gotten significantly better and the Phillies have gotten somewhat better. And believe me Im a Mets fan and Kevin Gregg is awful, he will blow any big game they play, and he gives up way too many homers. If marmol cant handle the closers role then the Cubs probly wont make the playoffs.</body>

&lt;div class=&quot;photo_attributes&quot; style=&quot;text-align:right;&quot;&gt;Jake Peavy had already prepared to&amp;nbsp;join the Chicago Cubs.&lt;br /&gt;AP&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LAS VEGAS -- Padres star pitcher &lt;strong&gt;Jake Peavy&lt;/strong&gt; is &quot;frustrated'' by the team's inability to trade him after threatening to do so for months and &quot;shaken'' over the Padres' latest failure to deal him to the Cubs after weeks of talks, Peavy's agent &lt;strong&gt;Barry Axelrod&lt;/strong&gt; said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We tried to cooperate as best we could,'' Axelrod told SI.com in a phone interview. &quot;Frankly, Jake is frustrated now more than ever. And I'm more frustrated than ever.''&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trade talks between the Padres and Cubs broke down with Cubs people complaining about the way San Diego was doing business. But if the Cubs are annoyed (and they are, as several Cubs officials expressed annoyance over the Padres continuing push for more players and the media leaks coming from somewhere that were revelatory about which Cubs were being included in potential deals), Peavy is almost as annoyed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Axelrod provided Padres GM &lt;strong&gt;Kevin Towers&lt;/strong&gt;, a close personal friend of Axelrod's, with a list of five teams Peavy would consider; Peavy has a blanket no-trade clause meaning he'd have to approve any trade. The Cubs were thought to be at or near the top of Peavy's five-team preferred list. So were the Braves, and talks with them broke down weeks ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Axelrod gave Towers guidance with the list of five that also included the Dodgers, Cardinala and Astros. But he is under no obligation to provide pre-approved lists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;If they come to us with a trade now, we'll consider it. But there won't be any more lists,'' Axelrod said. &quot;No, we're done with that.''&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After weeks of waiting, Axelrod indicated that Peavy was becoming adjusted to the idea of moving to Chicago to become a Cub, only to have that possibility pulled out from under him in the latest Padre failure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It's tough. Jake was pretty shaken by it,'' Axelrod said. &quot;He was starting to think about what life was like to be a Chicago Cub, and now that was taken from him.''&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All in all, Axelrod was by amazed by the utter waste of the Winter Meetings, where only the Yankees, Mets, Mariners and Indians accomplished anything of note.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It's amazing to me how many people can waste time, money and resources, and get nothing done,&quot; Axelrod said. &quot;Baseball moved lock, stock and barrel into that town, and absolutely nothing happened.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
