Now the chance for the Cubs to trade for an elite pitcher in Jake Peavy is now unlikely. Tim Brown is saying that the recent trades were used towards the signing of Milton Bradley, i disagree because the Cubs had the payroll go up and they had about 20 million dollars going out. With 17 million used on Bradley, Miles, and Vizcaino, which leaves 3 millions left over plus about 8-10 million for payroll going up. That's about 11-13 millions dollars for the Cubs to use towards a Peavy trade or a leadoff hitter (probably via trade.) Paul Sullivan's article claims that the Cubs will re-visit the Peavy talks!
Jim Hendry was asked about if he would re-visit the Peavy talks and he said "We certainly wouldn't close the door to anything," he legally can't say anything more because of tampering.
Ownership would have to approve of this trade. Crane Kenny has said that the ownership is about winning and anything to win.
