 As expected, Jake Peavy squashed the trade that would have sent him to the Chicago White Sox yesterday. The confusing part here is why the Padres would even attempt to work on a deal with an AL team that is not on Peavy’s short list to begin with. Note to self, before I try to trade a player with a full no-trade clause it might be a good idea to talk to said player first.&nbs...

Hopefully you did not draft John Smoltz this year in your fantasy league. You were probably like me, and picked him up to stash in one of your Prior List slots.

Hudson is on track for an August arrival, and adding a number one starter to the mix could give the Braves a huge boon in the pennant race. The problem might be finding a spot for Hudson in the rotation.

A deal has been struck that would send super stud Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox. All that they are waiting on is Peavy’s approval, which is not guaranteed to happen. It is well documented that Peavy wants to stay in the NL, and that he is happy staying in San Diego. The players in the deal are unclear, so speculate away.
I do not see this deal going down. Why would Pe...
