Padres May Move Giles

Found March 16, 2009 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
PLAYERS: Jake Peavy,  Brian Giles

Unless the Padres make a run for the playoffs, the Padres will likely pull off a midseason fire sale. Ownership would like the Padres payroll to be at the 40 million dollar mark, and a Jake Peavy trade would have made that happen. But Jake Peavy is still with the team and the Padres are trying to find ways to improve, but also cut payroll. There will likely be a market for Brian Giles if he gets off to his normal start, and there will definitely be a market for Jake Peavy at the trade deadline. Giles is hitting .200 so far this Spring, but hit .306 last season and is a career .294 hitter. While he is 38, he is durable and will give you at least 140 starts.

The Mets are team that could take a chance on Giles. There outfield has some question marks, so a veteran upgrade may be needed.

Before we get to the minor leagues, a few ruminations on the weekend’s activities at Petco: Jake Peavy spun a masterpiece on Saturday. Bugs and Cranks thinks he may be doctoring the baseball. With any luck, word will get back to opposing hitters, and they can have one more thing on their minds...

Passan: The WBC is a Farce

Via Sliding Into Home  |  March 15, 2009
From Jeff Passan:The World Baseball Classic is a farce. There’s no other way to put it. As much great baseball as it showcases, and as much as it means to other countries, until the United States starts treating the games as something more than exhibitions, the American public will continue to ignore it, and rightfully so. This has little to do with the outcome of Team USA’s...

Jake Peavy Shuts Down Dodgers on Two Hits

USA Beats Puerto Rico As Disenchanted Peavy And Oswalt Beat Down Three Teammates

The Astros and the Padres have the structural integrity of a North Korean skyscraper.

Ken Rosenthal checks in with another fine rumor-filled column. Johan Santana doesn't seem a great fit for the Angels, partly because he'll be very expensive and the Halos actually do have a payroll limit. Jake Peavy knows he'd have to take a discount to stay in San Diego...but even a $15MM pe...

San Diego Padres: Five Things to Look Forward to in 2009

Via Jorge Says No  |  March 15, 2009
1. Jake Peavy-Miraculously, the Padres did not trade Jake Peavy this offseason. A Peavy trade seemed inevitable, but thankfully, GM Kevin Towers came to his senses. Or better yet, Towers did not find an offer good enough for Peavy. Or perhaps, Peavy's no trade clause prohibited a trade from taking place. No matter what the reason, the Padres still have their ace and Padres fans...
