MLB Trade Rumor: Jake Peavy Traded To Chicago
San Diego Padres' ace Jake Peavy is rumored to be on his way to the south side of Chicago pending his agreement to waive his no trade clause. In return, the Padres will receive four players headed by pitchers Clayton Richard and Aaron Poreda and two PTBNLs.
My reaction is meh. The Padres are in need of middle infield and outfield help. If one of the PTBNLs is 2B/SS Gordham Beckham then I love the deal. Given Beckham is inelgible to be traded sooner than one year after being drafted, this is the thread to which Padres' fans will cling because the two pitchers are not going to change the offensive dynamic of the team.

That isn’t nice. I can’t imagine he would be going anywhere, but a package led by Richard and Poreda doesn’t excite. Worse, it wouldn’t provide any fantasy value on the San Diego side unless Beckham went.

you're right..
it wasn’t nice and i apologize…but i almost choked on my egg sandwich even thinking about gordon beckham getting traded to the NL. Think if you went to a fantasy web site and saw rumors of Wieters to the Mets…

+1
I can’t imagine the White Sox dealing Beckham. The next best hitter in the system may be Brandon Allen, a power hitting 1B, and the Pads already have one blocked at AAA by Adrian Gonzalez.
I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of the PTBNLs is a 2008 draftee, though.

From Will Carroll Tweeting
injuryexpert: Hearing those Sox-Peavy rumors are very real. KWilliams is aggressive. Poreda +2 or 3 is the return.

Williams
he must be taking on Peavy’s salary if he isn’t giving up much.
FAAB-$50 maybe??

A bit different...
…in AL as we can bid on call-ups and guys on the wire, not just cross overs. Two teams have 50 and cap space and need pitching so he should go for 50 but on never knows…

whp will have a worse record?
the Nats or the Padres??
I guess the Dodgers felt that with the big lead already, they don’t need him to win the West.
