Well, Towers said that it was either the Cubs or no one...and C.C. said he wanted to stay in the National League and play for a West Coast team...makes you wonder.

The Angels have the prospects to get this done. I think they have a good shot at making this trade.

As the desperation deepens, and clubs sense it in Kevin Towers, EVERYONE will be in for the kill. Face it fellow Padres fans, we still will lose Peavy and the longer it takes, the less we will get in return. This trade will be as uneven as Khalil Greene for a pitching prospect. Heck, let's just give Peavy to Cardinals too for a bag of baseballs at this point. (Cards fan rejoice)

Seems the Pads want too much, will the Angels give it up?

They do have the prospects to get it done. But the Angels never like giving up their young talent. In this case I think they have to do it. Solidifies the rotation for years if they can lock up Lackey long term. Then you can bring back Escobar as the closer when he returns.

The Angels may just be splashing around.

You might be right, it seems like no team is getting much done beyond the Mets. Most boring winter meetings ever. I thought things would pick up after CC signed but not much happening.

Peavy said he wanted to stay in the NL, but he may be so mad and Towers and the Padres that he just might accept the trade to the Angels just to get out of San Diego

I am still hoping he goes to the Braves. It would be a good fit and the Braves have still offered the best package...

...the best package to date

Santana teaches us that the best package doesn't always get the job done.

As a Yankee fan-
I would be VERY concerned if the Angels land Peavy

I'm pretty sure you could say the same about the Red Sox.

True. But it'd probably be said with less snickering.

They might as well. Peavy is a great pitcher and obviously wants out of SD. If he and his agents press hard enough the Padres might have to trade him for less than he is really worth and that means some team can pay 50 cents on the dollar and nab a frontline starter. I wish Cashman could swing a deal for him but a- we don't have the farm system to pull it off and b- I don't think he wants to come to NY.
