According to the Chicago Sun-Times Gordon Wittenmyer "those close to (Jim) Hendry expect him to restart the Peavy talks with the San Diego Padres," because of the Marquis deal is now official with salary off the books. Also, Jim Hendry stated yesterday 'We're going to continue to look for pitching before we go to camp.'' Either that means he's gonna start he Peavy talks again or he'll look into free agency for a SP who can start 32ish games.
Jim Hendry would need to consult the new ownership before any such trade or signing would be made. Gordon Wittenmyer also stated the "Selection of a winning bid for the club is said to be close, perhaps by the end of next week, and that might be just in time for the Cubs' front office to make a deal before spring training."
I will have and update later today, and talk about my predictions.

Do you think signing Peavy is good move the Cubs? If so why or why not...
ReplyDeleteI do think if the Cubs trade for Jake Peavy, it would be a good move for the reason of: that the Cubs rotation would be as good or better then what the Braves had in the 1990's. It would bring calmness to the organization if harden or big Z had to go on the DL. If Peavy were to come to the Cubs he would be the new ACE and would be the best pitcher on the Cubs since the 1992 CY young winner in Greg Maddox.
ReplyDeleteThe addition of Peavy would be good because it would allow the Cubs to match up with anybody in baseball. The Cubs as of now have a 2 year window to win, but with the acquisition of Peavy they would have a 4 year window to win.
Just to name the basic thoughts. Jake Peavy is a top 5 pitcher in MLB, only behind Santana and CC.
