Peavy to White Sox?

[ChaosLex]

Didn't see that one coming. I mean, it hasn't been decided yet, but supposedly the two teams are deep in negotiations. Interesting...

Buster Olney was on Mike and Mike this morning and he thinks it well get done pretty quick. He said the Padres really want MI talent.

I could see the deal being centered around Alexei Ramirez with Beckham taking over short for the Sox.

Jon Heyman of SI just said the deal is done. They're waiting for Peavy's decision.

Any idea what the White Sox gave up? I'm wondering if G. Beckham is a PTBNL. If so, that probably takes them out of the running for Green. :clap3:

Also, I have a favor to ask of the mods. Now that it's official, can you take the question mark out of the title? Pretty please? :laughlol:

Text from ESPN: Deal is done pending Peavy waiving his No-Trade Clause. No word on who the Sox are giving up.

[Boy Howdy]

Only a rumor, but Aaron Poreda, Clayton Richard & 2 PTBNL's might be the deal.

Same thread cites a rumor that Peavy nixed the deal. Who knows?

MLB.com confirms that left-handed pitchers Clayton Richard and Aaron Poreda, who was a first-round Draft pick in 2007, are part of the deal.

The White Sox are taking a big bite. Peavey is owed almost $60M through 2012, and there is a $22M team option for 2013.

I bet it does not happen. Peavy does not want to go to the AL, and does not sound thrilled about playing for Crazy Ozzie.

[Ruzious]

Not knowing who the other 2 players are, it sounds like a solid but unspectacular haul for Peavy. Poreda doesn't have a great SO rate, but he throws in the upper 90's and has pitched well in the minors. Richard seems like a possible 4th starter type. In the offseason, the Braves wouldn't give up Tommy Hanson to get Peavy, and Poreda's probably not quite the prospect that Hanson is.

[Maverick2143]

Per ESPN Radio: Peavy's agent said he doubts Peavy will agree to the trade at this time.

[cmcgarvey]

Peavy blocked it.

Must have seen the 20-1 loss as a bad omen.

[VeveJones007]

670 The Score in Chicago is reporting that sources inside the Padres organization say Peavy blocked the deal.

Bad day for the White Sox to suck.

Gotta hand it to the Twinkies though... they saw a former Cy Young coming to the division and did everything in their power to deflect him away. Mission successful.
