PrintA source close to the Jake Peavy camp has said that the pitcher has notified the San Diego Padres that he will not accept the trade to the South Side, killing the deal that would have sent four players West and put Peavy in black and white.

Screw Jake
If he’s too afraid to pitch in the AL. Who’s up next. I hope Kenny had another target in mind. Haren maybe?
It's less a matter of fear and more of future dollars
makes perfect sense

The Peavy (non)deal was as much about circumstance as it was about getting Peavy
Kenny saw the chance to get a pretty good pitcher at a rather deflated price. It certainly seemed like Poreda was going to be the only significant player from the Sox end moved. That’s just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Looks like KW stuck to his guns — no guaranteed fourth year (speculation on my part, although I thought I read that somewhere in the past few hours), none of Beckham, Allen or Flowers in the deal (again speculation although I’m more sure about this one). If you really want Haren, he’s going to cost two or three of our ‘big four’ prospects, and that seems like robbing peter to pay paul — you get better this year with Haren, but what about the offense, with Dye, Thome and Konerko out the door in the next couple years and nobody from the farm to replace them?
The Peavy deal was a chance to take a run at the 2009 crown without — IMO — sacrificing a whole lot of the future. Sure, Poreda could develop those secondary pitches and come back to bite you, but you’d still have Peavy, and you’d still have Beckham, Allen and Flowers at cost-controlled prices ready to replace the old bastards.
Oh well… I’ll admit to getting caught up in the situation (as I usually do) and thinking the Sox had a good chance to sway Peavy’s mind. At the very least it’s nice knowing the Sox payroll situation is much better than I thought it was. Hopefully they’ll use some of that cash money they would’ve had to pay Peavy to select a few ‘signability’ guys with those Cabrera picks next month.

So when does Kenny start the firesale?
He’s got cover with the fans now. “Well, we tried to get Peavy, but he had a sandy vag, so now we have to go in a different direction.”
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
Attention, shoppers
Jake Peavy’s pending deal to the White Sox came as no surprise to scouts around baseball. We heard from multiple scouts this week that White Sox scouts were spreading the word that GM Kenny Williams was open for business, meaning “they’ll talk about anyone,” said one scout. So even after this deal for Peavy, Williams might not be done.
Obviously, John Danks and Carlos Quentin aren’t going anywhere. And Mark Buehrle’s contract swells to $15 million a year if he’s traded, and guarantees his $15M option for 2012. But the buzz is that Williams will listen on Jermaine Dye, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko (who has to OK any deals), Octavio Dotel, A.J. Pierzynski, etc.
Williams is one of the most aggressive GMs in the business. So once he decides to move, look out. “Kenny’s always open for business,” said one GM. “He loves to make deals.”

If I were a padres fan, i'd be a little miffed at peavy
Now that teams know that he’s serious about this “only 3 or 4 teams I’d move to” business, he’s just shrunk the market down to those teams. Heck, if I were the Cubs or Brewers, I’d come back with an offer containing less than the original ones they floated a few months ago. The Padres have to dump him at some point given their budget.
The Sox will move on – it would have been nice, but it hardly would have fixed every issue on this team, and hey, maybe this Poreda kid will turn out pretty goo.

Peavy can go to WWE for all i care
BTW i really love how you all wrote the worst comments in my thread calling me andy rooney and writing about “When it comes to window blinds, vertical blinds are terrific, but so are horizontal blinds.” that was real classic stuff i hope it was just the liquor talking.
Since theres no need to talk about the Peavy trade id like to talk about throwing the entire team under the bus. (except Quentin,Dye,Floyd,Danks,and Ozzie)
20-1 pretty much says its all. the 1 more than the 20
I am really going to miss coming here and seeing posts about communist dictators and horizontal blinds. the only one with an intelligent post was TheCheat whom i respect.
Did you think Jake was going to come here? when he can pitch for the fairweather fans up north? Its just a shame Peavy could not open his eyes and see the white sox are a real team with real fans even if these fans do talk about horizontal blinds in fan posts.
and FYI i dont think poreda will ever win 6 games in the MLB and i think clayton is decent. when i saw Peavy to white sox i asked my self “so this is a god” but now that reality has come down its obvious that god does not exist peace out
Go white sox

You do have to wonder about a persons commitment
if he is that worried about his numbers
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Well
He has had elbow problems, he could get offered nothing, his offer could get worse… things may not go well. He is only willing to go to 2 or 3 teams etc.
This whole day doesn’t look too good for him in the PR department
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
what PR?
outside of going to prison, what can a ballplayer actually do to decrease his value? and has Peavy done anything near that sort of thing? where would you rather pitch?

Winning?
The Padres have absolutely no chance of winning in the next 4-5 years. Their payroll is trimmed to $40 million and they have a barren farm system. The Sox have been competitive every year this decade with the exception of 07, and are willing to spend money in order to win. If he didn’t want to come to the Sox because he didn’t like the city, or because he didn’t like Ozzie, I would understand. Not wanting to come because he’s afraid his ERA will rise, even though he stands a chance to win something here, means he’s much more concerned with looking at a park-deflated ERA and hunting come Oct. 1st than trying to win a chamionship. And it’s not like he’s making the major league minimum, his contract has set him up for life. And if he were to win while he was here, and help us go deep into the playoffs, I’m certain there would be a hefty contract available to him should that be his major concern.
by Off the bus running on May 21, 2009 7:35 PM CDT up reply actions
We're not the only game in town.
I don’t blame him – he didn’t demand a trade, he didn’t solicit this, he exercised his contractual right. WTF is the issue with Peavy? Put yourself in his place for longer than 5 seconds and you’ll see there was no way this was happening.
Plus, let’s just say we MIGHT be competitive for a division title this year (sure, let’s do that after today’s game). What of next year? Way too many uncertainties about future performance. I’d hold out for someone more desperate to win at all costs (and willing to guarantee the option year or pay bucketloads to waive the NTC).
Grow up – this is life and business. You’ll get to exercise your Constitutional rights some day, too.

a lot of this sounds more like time spent defending the White Sox against attack from the media. pretty much no one thinks Ken Rosenthal sucks…except for today, when he happened to mention that he wouldn’t go to the Sox if he were Peavy.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
I'm far more optimistic about next year
than I am about this year.
If he said he didn’t want to leave San Diego and was going to block any and all trades in order to keep his family there, I’d respect that. But he didn’t. He has stated his preference to play in the NL- which shows he’s more concerned with his statistics than he is about winning. And he chose not to come to the White Sox, even though he is willing to come to Chicago to play for the Cubs. So yes, I believe that’s a slap in the face of the White Sox. Feel free to disagree- you have the Constitutional right to do so. But when someone decides they’d rather not come to play for your favorite team, don’t act like it’s sacrilige to be both disappointed and find fault with it.

I didn't suggest it was sacrilige to critique it.

It's one loss
Considering at one point today it was 50-50, I wouldn’t say it wasn’t going to happen. It didn’t happen, and tomorrow we move on and play another game and forget about it. But for one night, it’s a welcome distraction from a 19 run loss. And the Pirates are a good cure for an ailing team.

I'm with you
Peavy wants to be a bitch, no need to dwell on it.
But 20-1 was too ugly and that made me more upset at the end of the day.
"My heart has always been in Miami and so I'm truly excited to call myself a Dolphin once again."-Jason Taylor 05-13-09
predicting the Padres' chances over the next 4-5 years
versus the Sox is a fool’s errand.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
I'll take my chances with the Sox
Their payroll is 2.5x greater. They have an established ownership who isn’t openly trying to trade the face of their franchise while they rebuild. Would you trade the our farm system for theirs? I wouldn’t call it a fool’s errand- I’d say our future is a lot brighter than theirs.

That they're not 100% accurate?
Peavy isn’t wanted in SD. They have been openly trying to trade him in order to begin their rebuilding. I don’t get it. You’re trying to argue that the Padres system is ready to take off? I don’t get trying to play devil’s advocate here. The Padres are not in position to take the league by storm any time soon.

eh, i don't know how cogent i've been
i brought up BP b/c of the error margin. if you start chaining years, it becomes ludicrous. at this point, my position is that there’s no basis for criticizing Peavy because of the extent of the uncertainty. i don’t understand why you’d even look to criticize the guy in the first place. i agree with WU that it comes off as decidedly biased considering he didn’t make the decision most of us wanted him to make.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
of course we're biased, and i think most people on here, including myself, realize why peavy's rejection is beneficial to him in a number of ways
but what’s wrong a little venting, that’s all it is, so get off your high horse michigan boy

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Kenny speaks
“It was communicated to me earlier this evening that Jake Peavy is simply not yet ready to make a commitment to join the Chicago White Sox.
“I understand where Jake is coming from given the unusually early timing of this type of event. It’s understandable that he was caught a bit off guard, as most people in his position would be. He has a wife and three young boys to consider, and Jake has earned the right to thoroughly think through this move.
“He and his agent, Barry Axelrod, have been transparent in their thoughts, respectful and complimentary of what we have accomplished with the White Sox, and understand our desire to win another World Series title. I walk away with a greater respect and admiration for both as a result.
“Anyone who has followed our club knows we still have championship aspirations for this season and will continue to improve our current club by pursuing all of our various opportunities.”

Carlos Quentin confirms plantar fasciitis injury, plans to return to White Sox's lineup Friday
By Mark Gonzales
White Sox slugger Carlos Quentin confirmed Thursday morning he was told he is suffering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot but said he is available to play.
“That’s what they told me,” Quentin said of the ailment that transferred from his heel to the mid-foot area.
The injury is caused by excessive wear, alhtough Quentin said he was fitted with new orthodics insoles in addition to wearing a protective boot the past few days.
“It’s annoying, and then it gets painful,” Quentin described the pain that has since subsided.
Quentin hasn’t played since last Friday in Toronto, when the artificial turf caused further pain.
“That’s why we jumped on it as soon as we could,” Quentin said of the treatment. “We were pretty aggressive.”
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
He is, in all likelihood, fucked for awhile,
and will be managing this all year.

how many games would you peg him for with ~120 to play?
we should probably presume he’s playing at like 85% too.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
2/3 of the season, maybe.
It hurts like a bitch, and when he says it’s annoying I bet he means “It’s annoying because there is nothing I can do about this nagging BS but let it run its course”. I bet he DH’es – no way he can play the OF if he’s hurting like most PF-affected folks.
We’re a pack of a-holes.
by rhythm on Apr 14, 2009 1:45 PM EDT
how's he going to DH?
Thome’s something of a fixture. there’s no where to put him. he’ll probably just play an even worse LF.

it's kind of a permanent problem

hard to tell
he might need to sit more, but he also might not. i mean, the orthodics i have work amazingly. i’m sure a pro-ball player could afford even better. it’ll prolly slow him down until he gets used to it, but i think he could full bounce back.

Depends on the severity.
Most (dozens, literally) of folks of all ages (and levels of running acumen) say it is NOT a lingering (years) issue, but a 6-12 month mystery and exercise in frustration. Stops ’em cold.
I’ve never heard anyone describe their experience like yours, UG. So that’ news to me. Have you been booted? Anyone I know who has was in a world of hurt for a few months. I never took the boot and I had to lay off running for 2 months, and the pain persisted for 6.
And then, poof, it was gone. Damndest thing.

Also had a buddy that sorta blew out his arm
pitching in the 8th grade

They think this was just a stunt pulled by the Padres
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Yeah they are close to that caliber
I went over to have a beer before there softball game (alot of them are unemployed, I on the other hand had to take a 14 year old to a group home today).
The rest of them were saying the commitment was too big and that they don’t have the prospects right now.
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
He still had the last say so.
What is wrong with the media. What until the deal is done. Now he will be traded to the team he want’s. How many deal’s have been that close, ill say at least 80%. At that price do we really really care . Hat’s off to the American league for exposing over the hill pitcher’s.
For those of you following Will Carroll's twitter feed
Hearing Peavy didn’t just turn down White Sox, but made it clear that he won’t accept a trade anywhere this season.
Why not? His deal gives him time.

Todd Koppernoll at Brewersfan.net has an interview with former major leaguer Brooks Kieschnick, the first player to hit a homerun as a pitcher, a pinch hitter, and as a DH. This is a fascinating account of the rise and fall of a ballplayer. Key quote: “I knew my career was in trouble the minute the Cubs drafted me.”
