Padres have Peavy on the block, but I doubt he'll go for anything less than Hughes, Cano, and another top prospect.
Although I have also heard Ichiro and Bedard are available. Who would do Matsui, Kennedy, Igawa (they still want him, for some undetermined reason) and a prospect for that Seattle salary dump?
In a heartbeat! I heard a rumor last night that the Red Sox may go after Peavy. The person who wrote the rumor thinks the Sox have the trade chips to make the deal happen.
Red Sox covet Padres' Peavy
If Jake Peavy does indeed become trade bait in San Diego, watch the line form out the door for his services. Peavy, 27, is precisely the type of pitcher the Red Sox covet. And considering the close relationship between GMs Theo Epstein and Kevin Towers, don't rule out the Sox. The Padres would want a Dan Haren-type deal, and the Sox have the chips to do it.
