Jake Peavy Deal Now "Unlikely": Dodgers Waiting to Exhale

PrintTom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune says the rumored trade of Jake Peavy to the White Sox is probably dead:
It’s unlikely the Padres will trade ace pitcher Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox, though the clubs discussed a 4-for-1 swap and Peavy has heard from a White Sox player who told him he would love for Peavy to become a teammate.
It’s far more likely that Peavy will start for the Padres on Friday against the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park, according to people close to the pitcher.
Peavy’s consent would be needed for a trade, but the process hasn’t gotten to that point.
Emphasis mine. It sounds like, if the Peavy trade will happen, it will take some time to complete. So much for getting the "Dodger killer" out of the division, at least not yet.

Eh
He’s got a 28.6 LD% and a .327 BABIP. Neither of those will sustain. His fielding has been good but overall he hasn’t been too impressive.

Towers has spent hours it seems in the last 9 months trying to deal Peavy. He may not want to trade within the division which I’m happy about because I’m not a big fan but you would think that Towers should be targeting offense. He will have a hard time attracting elite free agent offense but should have no trouble bringing in middling pitching talent at a good cost who want to rehabilitate their numbers at Petco. Gaudin being a perfect example.
They have holes at 2nd base, SS, and catcher with no help in the system.
Agreed.
I don’t like the deal from the Padres perspective if they don’t get Gordon Beckham. It looks like the deal is off for now though.
