CUBS ANNOUNCE DEAL FOR JAKE PEAVY

It came over the handle early this sunrise and strike my iPhone identical to a tidal wave. We all suspicion which the many brand new headlines which Jim Hendry and the Cubs were tighten to signing on for an prolongation was the greatest story in town. Now the headlines which Hendry pulled off a understanding for Jake Peavy sparks brand new hold up in to a group still seathing from the playoff brush at the hands of Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers.

The understanding reportedly went down final night late and was voiced to the media in the morning. If you’re gripping measure at home, it went something identical to this:

Cubs Receive: Jake Peavy – SP

Padres Receive: Felix Pie – CF, Sean Marshall – SP, and Jeff Samardzija

According to ESPN’s Buster Olney:

Multiple sources cruise it expected the Padres will understanding Peavy in the weeks ahead, and which it is a practical faith he will be traded prior to the Jul 31 deadline subsequent season. The Padres have been seeking at slightest dual immature pitchers in return, along with someone who can turn the team’s bland core fielder someday in the evident to nearby future. - Source

Hendry felt he could have which occur and jumped on the event in a identical approach to when he sealed Ted Lilly from the sanatorium bed. That’s only how he rolls. With rumors which an prolongation for Ryan Dempster have been in the works, the Cubs turn the transparent cut the one preferred for the World Series pretension in 2009.

Man how I wish to right which story, and because can’t we? Peavy, himself, not long ago referred to which if he was to be traded, he longed for it to be to Atlanta, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Houston or CHICAGO. If the Padres unequivocally have been seeking for the dual starting pitchers and a nearby ready Major League centerfielder, because can’t we yield that? Heck, I’d even give them Fukudome or Tyler Colvin if they longed for one of them instead of Pie. Imagine a revolution of Zambrano, Peavy, Harden, Dempster, Lilly in no sold order. Yikes!!!

I know it’s not going to happen, but wouldn’t it be nice?
