Only if the Padres are now willing to take garbage in return, because that's all the Cubs have at least in terms of what they are willing to trade.

Thats all they ever had. The pads would be smart to hold onto Peavy until at least the break when a team will get despertate for an arm.

But doesn't his ability to block a deal to most MLB teams kind of hinder the Padres ability to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and the teams that are going to be able to take on that contract will narrow it even more. The Cubs are one of a few teams able to handle that whole contract. Sure, the Padres could get better talent if they were willing to pick up a lot of the contract, but they're going cheap, and probably don't want to do that. If they can get Vitters, Olsen, and a couple other prospects from the Cubs without having to pick up any salary, I think they'll do it.

klaus kinski Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I really wonder who is worse at developing young talent-the Bears or the Scrubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that Pie isnt done yet, and has been mishandled somewhat by the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's feasible he was a "change of scenery" guy, but he'll never be the stud, 5 tool player the Cubs told us he would be, and he just wasn't going to be able to reach his potential on the north side. The problem here isn't the Cubs trading him, it's the Cubs NOT trading him when his value was ridiculously high about 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox? lol. At least we're on the right track though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
