Peavy deal waiting on Cubs' OK
While general manager Jim Hendry said he spoke to representatives of three or four free agents Tuesday on the second day of baseball's winter meetings, the Jake Peavy rumors continue to take center stage. Hendry declined to comment on talk that Mark DeRosa was headed to Philadelphia for pitching prospects that would be sent to San Diego to complete a potential Peavy deal, but Phillies sources insisted a deal was in place and ready to go if the Cubs decide to pull the trigger with the Padres. While nothing appears imminent, the Cubs have done enough groundwork on the Peavy deal to pull it off quickly. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Jason Marquis would replace Sean Marshall in the package going to the Padres, with the Cubs eating more than half of his $9.8 million salary. The Phillies would send two pitching prospects to the Padres while acquiring DeRosa from the Cubs.

If they're not giving up Josh Vitters then get this deal done. All it may need is whoever the new owners might be to sign off on eating some of Marquis' contract.

So, a team that has won its division each of the last to years is a poor organization and a bunch of losers? I can't believe how so many people use the PAST to describe the CURRENT condition of the team. Get a life.

Hope the Cubs do get rid of Marquis even if they do have to eat half of his salary. Just another self-centered I am the greatest player in baseball guy.

Getting swept was not a good showing and all cubs fans know that and are probably still ticked off about that, however to say that your team is horrible is ignorant, we had a very good year by cubs standards last year during the regular season and we choked in the playoffs, but if we do get peavy our rotation will be so sick that it is obvious that we will be the front runners to win the nl central, and most like the nl pennant as well, and original you still have yet to state your favorite team

Stop the presses stop the presses. First the Cubs need to do to close this deal is to put money in the governors pocket.

I still think the Cardinals should have went after this guy. They need pitching badly.

I think they are going to go after Fuentes. They can't afford both. Look for Ankiel to be dealt for a promising young starter like Phil Hughes.

Looks like the Poopdres are gonna get stung. They would have gotten a much better package than this from Atlanta. KT and Alderson screwed around so much they in actuality screwed themselves and Poopdres fans. Not very competent leadership. They're getting what they deserve.
