Piniella said Cubs are done chasing Peavy If there were any lingering questions about whether the Chicago Cubs had pulled back from pursuing San Diego Pardes ace Jake Peavy in a trade, manager Lou Piniella answered them this week. The Chicago Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer asked Piniella at an event in Chicago on Sunday whether the Cubs were still pursuing starting pitching in the wake of their four-year contract extension with free agent right-hander Ryan Dempster. "No," Piniella was quoted as saying in Tuesday's Chicago Sun-Times. Piniella said Cubs are done chasing Peavy - Sports Rumors - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
At this point it looks like the Padres may have to keep him or take FAR less than what they wanted. I was hoping St Louis would get in on this considering the money they've cleared this offseason....looks like they're not willing....I'm not sure who is at this point.
Seems like alot of teams are done chasing him. Padres clearly are asking for alot, somebodys gonna give them alot just don't know who.
