Jake Peavy decided not to come to play for the White Sox.
As The Franchise would say ", I'm not surprised."
This was to be expected. From what I've gathered, Jake is a little too interested in Jake's numbers to make a move to the American League, and chances are he'd want to stay out of the NL East as well.
It's not about the paper - he's locked up good til 2013 for above-market coin - but it's not all about the winning as he says. I think he's looking for that perfect combination of excellent playoff chance + crappy divisional opponents + crappy overall league ... which leads us, really, to two teams - the Cubs and the Brewers.
Now, we know he loves the Cubbies - who wouldn't? But I really don't see that happening, not with the Ricketts family about to finish out their $900 million purchase.
Brewers? They have the talent San Diego would want, but do they have the cash to pay not only Peavy the next four years, but Prince Fielder?
In the end, I think Jake will finish out this year in San Diego...and we'll do this dance all over again in the winter

I have a feeling that two years from now we'll be saying, "Sometimes the best trades you make are the ones you don't make at all."
Peavy's career numbers in the playoffs: 0-2, 12.10 ERA.
Can't wait for the Cubs to acquire him, only to see him crap his jammies in the postseason.
