  What a great story, can't believe the Braves got Peavy, what a snag.

  You can't be serious? It makes sense though, the Padres won't be able to afford him when his contract is up.

  Good story, I have heard these rumors are true. I would have liked to see him as a Philly!

  Let's just say we have a report from a connection we have, so it looks like it will happen. Hopefully for Atlanta it does.

  First, let me say that you are really "jumping the gun" on this post -- especially considering nothing is official regarding this supposed trade. Second, from the reports I've seen, I can't imagine the Padres settling for the players the Braves are willing to include in this supposed deal (Escobar, Flowers, Morten, and Medlen). If I were the Padres, I'd be asking for Jason Heyward in the deal as a "must have" along with Escobar. Considering the teams that are also "reportedly" interested, I'd give the Rays, Angels, Yankees and Red Sox an outside shot at getting him -- despite Peavy wishing to stay in the NL. I've heard the Rays would possilbly be willling to send a package of Niemann, Brignac, and Ed. Jackson, and have even heard Ellsbury, Lowrie, and Masterson's names come up as parts of potential Red Sox deal for Peavy.
  
  Personally, I think Towers is going to wait until, at the very least, the GM's meetings in November to get anything "official" done. And, who knows, it could even drag on like the Johan Santana sweepstakes past the owners meetings and deep into winter. So, yes, the rumors are there...but there has been NO announcement of any deal being officially agreed upon sending Peavy to the Braves...so, this post is only speculation until that point.

    It is speculation until something is officially announced but this is a report we have from a decent source. Hopefully this trade doesn't fall through.

  If this is true...then thank goodness that the Dodgers are not going to face him as much they do. Now we gotta figure out how to get Brandon Webb and Dan Haren over to the east coast AND in the American League or maybe on OUR team, but I'd rather have Manny. Haha.
