Padres GM Kevin Towers said it is still most likely that ace Jake Peavy will get traded to an NL team (the Braves remain the front-runner), but that the righty also has given his approval to be dealt to the Yankees or Angels, as well. However, Peavy's rep, Barry Axelrod, said, "We have not given approval for those two teams and we haven't even been asked to say yes or no." Axelrod, in fact, said Peavy would almost certainly ask for additional conditions (read more money) to consider going to a team such as the Yankees.

Yankees pick up Orlando Hudson to play 2B. Trade Robinson Cano and Ian Kennedy to the Padres for Jake Peavy

I'd be shocked if Peavy accepted a trade to the Yankees. He could get similar money in the NL without having to face AL lineups. He's a smart guy that has seen what happens to NL pitchers that go to the AL (Brown, Pavano, Johnson the NL version), especially the AL East or how former AL pitchers pitch in the NL (Sabathia, Clemens, Carpenter, Lohshe, etc, etc, etc etc).
