Looks like the deal is off.

Of course it's off, the deal was NEVER on. This whole thing has been a bull s*** ploy by the Padres in order to try and get Peavy's value up. It's obviously not working, but that is what they are doing. The Cubs do not have the financial or personnel resources to get this deal done, regardless of what their idiot fans or idiot Cub loving reporters like Mr. Carpet Bomber Bruce Levine fasely think. Just like the Brian Roberts stuff last offseason, this whole thing has been a laughable farce.

I think there were rumors of the Cubs offering like Gallagher, Marshall, Ceda, and Pie for Roberts last year. I don't know if that was true, but if it was, the O's were f***ing retards to pass that up. As for Peavy, I'm glad the Pads have (so far) decided against giving him away for Vitters and scraps. Towers should call up Frank Wren and apologize to him for bringing in the Cubs in order to get him to bid against himself. Obviously that did not work because the Braves aren't total idiots. Atlanta still has the talent to make a deal if they can take on the salary.
