Peavy doesn't want to be a yankee or an Angel or even a Met. If he did he would already be there. Keep flashing the money around. When cc arm falls off and burnett has back problems. the spankees won't look so good.

He's one of those injury-prone guys with a non-fluid delivery who has good seasons every other, much the way Bret saberhagen used to be. As he ages, do any of you fools think that will somehow get better? In two seasons of having to pitch in the &quot;stretch out the pitch count&quot; AL, his elbow will be down around his toes. That said, Padres, PLEASE trade him to the Yankees! He can &quot;win 2 or 3 Rings there!&quot; LOL--yeah right, maybe in a Strat-O-Matic league! God Yankee fans are the funniest, most moronic tools on the planet. 3898318 2009-01-07T16:45:00-05:00 4 NV Spurs4CL Las Vegas 447985 6 I agree the Angels have the talent, but whom do you suggest the Yankees offer up? 3897910 2009-01-07T16:43:12-05:00 3 NY brooklynheinz Brooklyn 655724 5 Jon, any reason the Mets can't jump into the fray if/when Maine hopefully shows a healthy shoulder in the spring? If this lingers to mid-March, a package of Maine/F-Mart/Kunz or Mejia beats anything the Cubs were offering. Maine is a proven major leaguer years away from FA and F-Mart is still a top positional prospect - that's an attractive offer to a rebuilding club (frankly, I' m not sure the Mets would do such a deal). Of course, the Mets would still need to fill the 4-spot and gamble that Niese sticks in the 5-spot, but a back-end of Wolf and/or Redding and/or Niese (and/or Pedro?) would look a heckuva lot better with Santana/Peavy/Pelfrey leading the charge. Santana/Peavy would also form quite the playoff 1-2 punch (should we be so lucky). 3897853 2009-01-07T16:41:57-05:00 1121 CA Yankee27 Castaic 188694 4 Reagins...sorry 3897847 13 <div class="photo_container image_right" style="width: 300px;"> <div class="photo"><img src="http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/jake-peavy-ap2.jpg" alt="Jake-peavy-ap2" width="300" height="400" /></div> <div class="photo_attributes" style="text-align:right;">Jake Peavy's name has been in trade talks all winter. &nbsp;(AP)</div> </div> <p>San Diego Padres CEO Sandy Alderson has heard recent scuttlebutt about the Cubs maybe getting back into the game for star pitcher <strong>Jake Peavy</strong>. Yet, Alderson continues to paint a pessimistic picture about the possibility of trading Peavy.</p> <p>"At some point here the window (for a trade) will close and we've got to say, 'Pack it up,''' Alderson said. "At this point, the likelihood is that he'll be with us on Opening Day.''</p> <p>While Alderson said he read about speculation regarding the Cubs' continuing interest in adding a pitcher (the <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> suggested as much), he said he didn't believe there'd been any new contact with the Cubs, who might consider a free agent such as <strong>Derek Lowe</strong> instead. The Padres talked a lot to the Braves and Cubs about Peavy, who included those two teams on a list of five he might consider going to. Peavy has a full no-trade clause.</p> <p>Alderson maintained they were never that close to making a trade with the Braves, and that in the case of the Cubs, there was never even an opportunity to say yes or no to a particular trade. However, several names of young Cubs were discussed when the sides were talking in December.</p> <p>Alderson also said he didn't believe the likely sale of the team has changed their position on Peavy at all.</p> <p><strong>Jeff Moorad</strong>, who just stepped down as Diamondbacks CEO, is the likely buyer of the Padres. As for whether he himself is likely to remain with the Padres, Alderson said he would wait to comment until the process is further along.</p> 38701 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084
