he's available according to the Padres and published reports.

now, what makes this interesting is that right now, he's saying he won't approve a trade to the American League. My first thought is this: weak sauce.

Why?

This guy has so little faith in his stuff that he doesn't think it can translate to the big boy league?

I still think Trader Kenny should make an offer to Kevin Towers and then he and The Chairman should fly out to San Diego and convince Peavy to come to the Southside.

Cubs fans can hope though - the Cubbies were one of the teams Peavy's agent mentioned as one he would accept a trade to. While I think Cubs fans are irrational in their dream of seeing Derrek Lee traded, I'd offer D-Lee for a true ace.
