Jake Peavy Dealt To White Sox Again
4:45pm: Two White Sox officials tell USA Today's Bob Nightengale that the Sox will pay all of Peavy's contract. That means they'll pay him $56MM by the end of 2012 and maybe more afterwards.
4:12pm: Peavy's agent, Barry Axelrod, told Tom Krasovic that his client accepted the deal because there was no guarantee that the Cubs and Dodgers, Peavy's preferred teams, would have made a move for the righty in the offseason. Axelrod knows Peavy's contract no longer looks like a bargain, so he says he wasn't expecting a deal.
"Frankly I am flabbergasted that the White Sox would want to make this deal with him in his physical condition," Axelrod said.
3:35pm: USA Today's Bob Nightengale, via Twitter, says the White Sox confirmed they just got Peavy. Brock agrees - Peavy approved the trade this time. Peavy is owed $56MM through 2012, or $74MM through 2013 if the Sox exercise his option.
3:29pm: MLB.com's Corey Brock via Twitter: Aaron Poreda's in the deal. Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse has righty Adam Russell in the trade as well. Righty Dexter Carter and southpaw Clayton Richard are also going to San Diego, according to multiple reports.
3:22pm: Not sure what to make of this, but SI's Jon Heyman tweeted that Padres pitcher Jake Peavy was dealt to the White Sox again. Heyman is not sure if Peavy OK'd it. He says the Padres get minor leaguers. Peavy is currently recovering from a torn ankle tendon.

And the big twist of the day goes to....

This has to be BS. Heyman is bulls#itting.

Hilarious. What a crazy day today was.
Posted by: jdub | July 31, 2009 at 03:23 PM
hahahaha yeah right. Heyman is on crack.

Has to be bull..
Posted by: Michael Brewer | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
Greatest trade deadline ever.
This is a strange one. Hard to believe that it's true.
Posted by: bjsguess | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
This is crazy. I'd have to think Peavy approved it ahead of time, otherwise why the heck would SD try to send him there again after he already vetoed a trade there earlier in the season?
Posted by: simard77 | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
LMAO. That's hilarious. You think he finally says, screw it, I'm going to Chi-Town? Lol.
Posted by: soxfan93 | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
This proves heyman is the most unreliable source in mlb.
Posted by: Dj 26 | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
peavy to dodgers.
this will happen
Posted by: milanokis | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
... About as funny as a kick in the crotch. Almost as much of joke as Soxtalk.

This...
Waaa?
Posted by: UGotRPK3113 | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
How can he be traded if he's on the DL?
Posted by: icedrake523 | July 31, 2009 at 03:24 PM
Peavy is on the DL isn't he? You can't trade players on the DL.....i thought.
Posted by: turnthe2 | July 31, 2009 at 03:25 PM
I'm not buying it, especially if it was just for minor leaguers.
Posted by: Gosser128 | July 31, 2009 at 03:25 PM
It's reported by a lot of different people, so I say it's true.
Posted by: BravesRed | July 31, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Nice pick up for chi town...I am jealous!
Posted by: Dodgerfaninspokane | July 31, 2009 at 03:25 PM
"Peavy is on the DL isn't he? You can't trade players on the DL.....i thought."
you can with approval from commissioner's office. Sean Gallagher was traded in the Scott Hairston deal and he's still on the DL
Posted by: melonis rex | July 31, 2009 at 03:25 PM
no way
Posted by: braves77 | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Is this seriously true? I mean Peavy is a month away at least from coming back.
Posted by: metfan57 | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Sox fans are gonna be pretty "peaved" if this ends up jerking out chain again...
Posted by: Cold Golden Falstaff | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
yeah, and I hear Brian Roberts is being dealt to the Cubs also
Posted by: TB | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
There is word circling that Halladay was dealt to the Angels too, although this rumor is just bizarre...
Posted by: bonzosa | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
It happened on MLB TV they said Heyman was seen running through the stuidos as much as it pained them to see him struggle on his feet. No joke
Posted by: FreeSide | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
If Jake Peavy approves it now, he seriously just played the Padres, big time.
Posted by: melonis rex | July 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Its over the Dodgers will lose in the first round of the playoffs. Peavy is injured. He wont help.
Posted by: dodgersrule99 | July 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM
better be good freaking minor league player... there is no way
Posted by: SD Fan | July 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM
Ok, he is going to say the same on the air on the MLBNetwork after commercial. They said deals "involving two former CY winners" - who is the second??? Halladay?
But, WTH - who knows for sure if Peavy will even pitch again this season. This is strange.
Posted by: SuzysMan | July 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM
MLBtv said 2 Cy young pitchers traded
Posted by: RyMac | July 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM
LOL at this...i bet that Peavy sees that it is Towers on his caller ID and presses ignore.
Posted by: gsueagles | July 31, 2009 at 03:28 PM
whats goin on??this can be true can it?
Posted by: Mikey Roederer | July 31, 2009 at 03:28 PM
What a load of crap from Heyman. He always has to make some crap up to bring attention to himself. This cannot be true. Total Bullsh!t.
Posted by: Spieg7 | July 31, 2009 at 03:28 PM
Someone probably hacked into Heyman's account. Damn hack!
That would be hilarious.
I expect nothing but Buehrle, Ramirez, and Beckham in return haha
Posted by: marinest21 | July 31, 2009 at 03:28 PM
Yall, turn on MLB network right now, Heyman is talking about it.
Posted by: bravoboy10 | July 31, 2009 at 03:29 PM
Twitter Hack.
Posted by: TheAntiRecruiter | July 31, 2009 at 03:29 PM
Roy Halladay to Angels ....
Posted by: FreeSide | July 31, 2009 at 03:29 PM
Heyman looking into it but Halladay to Angels confirmed by many .. Heyman still looking into this thats why its not confirmed.
Posted by: FreeSide | July 31, 2009 at 03:30 PM
Heyman just accidently twittered something from 2 months ago. Check the date and time on the twitter.
Posted by: OmegaMan | July 31, 2009 at 03:30 PM
Roy Halladay has NOT been traded
Posted by: Spieg7 | July 31, 2009 at 03:30 PM
ok, ill start it off. I think Towers should send Peavy to the Cubs for andres blanco, aaron heilman, and jeff stevens. The cubs should send mike fontenot and micah hoffpauir to the Orioles for Brian Roberts. Am I serious? Who agrees?
Posted by: sharx | July 31, 2009 at 03:30 PM
drumroll...
Posted by: part-time pariah | July 31, 2009 at 03:30 PM
"MLBtv said 2 Cy young pitchers traded"
Sure they weren't just talking about Cliff Lee?
Posted by: Little Bear | July 31, 2009 at 03:31 PM
They are saying the Peavy deal is real on mlb tv.
Posted by: YanksFanSince78 | July 31, 2009 at 03:31 PM
I want answers.
Posted by: 661dodgerblue | July 31, 2009 at 03:31 PM
"3:29pm: MLB.com's Corey Brock via Twitter: Aaron Poreda's in the deal, not sure what else."
Who was in the deal last time? Same thing just 2 months later?
"Roy Halladay to Angels ...."
Heyman says he doesnt think this one is happening.
Posted by: SuzysMan | July 31, 2009 at 03:31 PM
it's got to be a poreda/richard-ish kinda package, no?
Posted by: part-time pariah | July 31, 2009 at 03:31 PM
Peavy for Clayton Richard and three ML pitchers.
Posted by: Little Bear | July 31, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Halo Day?
Posted by: KilzBookyz | July 31, 2009 at 03:32 PM
poreda, richard, russell, carter
Posted by: part-time pariah | July 31, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Richard, Russel, Carter, and Poreda
Posted by: Jays4Life | July 31, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Clayton Richard, Adam Russell, Aaron Poreda and Dexter Carter for Peavy is the report.
Posted by: YanksFanSince78 | July 31, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Richard, Russell, Poreda and carter
Posted by: SuzysMan | July 31, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Clayton Richard Adam Russell Aaron Poreda and Dexter Carter to SD for Peavy
Done deal.
Posted by: Scott Candage | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
Wow... Talk about selling LOW.
Posted by: dodgersdan | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
haha, people realize that Cliff Lee won the Cy young last year right and that they are talking about Lee and Peavy?? Pretty sure Halladay didn't go anywhere
Posted by: gobosox00 | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
Take it from someone that lives near Charlotte, Russell and Poreda both suck.
Posted by: BravesRed | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
This is crazy. If the Peavy thing is true than the other Cy Young he's talking about is cliff lee...
Posted by: TheAntiRecruiter | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
I guess part-time pariah has the best typing skills?
Posted by: YanksFanSince78 | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
MLB Network is saying its confirmed and going through. Peavy to the White Sox, wow didn't see it coming.
Posted by: cooperbmp | July 31, 2009 at 03:33 PM
Poreda, Adam Russell and Dexter Carter are the 3 ML pitchers.
Posted by: Little Bear | July 31, 2009 at 03:34 PM
79 wpm beyotch, lol.
seriously, if he ok's this...wow, just wow.
Posted by: part-time pariah | July 31, 2009 at 03:34 PM
Are you kidding me? The Tigers land washburn for scrubs. The Phillies Get Cliff Lee for a bag of balls. And the Yankees, pick up Jerry fuhking Hariston Jr.? Are you KIDDING me? The Yankees NEED PITCHING, and we get some aging utility player? Can someone explain the relevance in that trade?
Posted by: ShawnTheYankeesfan | July 31, 2009 at 03:34 PM
Worst trade deadline EVAR!
Posted by: InvalidUserID | July 31, 2009 at 03:34 PM
Yes!
What an amazing deadline!
This is by far the most exciting deadline yet.
An ok SP staff to a great one. Addition of Peavy and subtraction of Colon/fill in starter spot.
I am floored.
Posted by: bonzosa | July 31, 2009 at 03:34 PM
Thats crazy, I know for a fact the Dodgers could made a better deal.
I guess the whole "we will rape your system" thought got in the way.
So how does it go from Kemp/Kershaw/Buchholz/Hanson/Escobar/prospects and MLs of the caliber to a whatever deal?
Posted by: 661dodgerblue | July 31, 2009 at 03:35 PM
What is the rule about trading guys on the DL? I know it's happened before, but I've also seen players being named the PTBNL because they were on the DL at the time of the deal.
Posted by: bryan | July 31, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Peavy will still have to waive his no trade clause for this to go through, no?
Posted by: Cronus | July 31, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Axelrod is confirming this on the radio right now..
Posted by: hey the weather is nice | July 31, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Have heard on multiple stations in Chicago that this is a done deal. White Sox traded Poreda, Richard, Adam Russell and Dexter Carter...
Assuming Peavy comes back healthy. I think it's a great trade for the White Sox and as a Cub fan, I'm jealous. Once again KW proves he is twice the GM Hendry is. The best prospect they gave up is a guy that can't develop a breaking pitch (Poreda) and they keep Beckham, Flowers, Jordan Danks, and didn't have to trade someone like Ramirez off the ML Roster.
Posted by: ibleedcubbieblue | July 31, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Lol, 5 posts at the same time saying the same thing
"This is crazy. If the Peavy thing is true than the other Cy Young he's talking about is cliff lee..."
No, it was Halladay and the Angels, but he said that it was heard; just not believed.
Posted by: SuzysMan | July 31, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Any word on Peavy & his NTC?
Why would he OK it this time?
Posted by: Cold Golden Falstaff | July 31, 2009 at 03:36 PM
Jonathan Mayo reporting
" Richard, Poreda, Adam Russell, Dexter Carter for Peavy"
Posted by: bonzosa | July 31, 2009 at 03:36 PM
The only thing I will say is that this one of the top 5 best trade deadlines ever.
Posted by: metfan57 | July 31, 2009 at 03:36 PM
So has Peavy okayed this?
Posted by: jdub | July 31, 2009 at 03:36 PM
Hooooolllyyyy shite.
I don't like this deal for the White Sox one bit.
Peavy's ERA will balloon to about 5 in the AL.
Oh, and I think Towers renenged on his mistakes and got a deal done. Nice. Assuming Peavy approves this deal.
Posted by: melonis rex | July 31, 2009 at 03:36 PM
haha. Kenny Williams is crazy!!!
Posted by: philsWSchamps | July 31, 2009 at 03:36 PM
Jesus, all those ChiSox pitchers are 6'6 and above. They would fit right in with Young. Maybe Towers has a thing for NBA wannabes.
Posted by: marinest21 | July 31, 2009 at 03:37 PM
Talk about out of left field! Kenny Williams does always have something up his sleeve.
Posted by: Dan | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
OMFG. done deal.
Posted by: part-time pariah | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
Peavys Agent is on SD radio right now confirming it.
Posted by: Steve | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
ny word on Peavy & his NTC?
Why would he OK it this time?
Posted by: Cold Golden Falstaff
Appears that he can either jump ship or ride it to the bottom, never to be heard from again...
Posted by: bonzosa | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
wow, thats ice cold on peavys behalf, approving a trade while injured when there was a better deal for the team when he was healthy
Posted by: 04Forever | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
Yeah that Brandon Allen for Tony Pena deal - genius.
Posted by: vtadave | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
Couldn't agree more. Even though my team has landed nothing so far this deadline has been awesome to watch.
Posted by: bjsguess | July 31, 2009 at 03:39 PM
nice, i can limp through the contreras/colon experience a little more at ease now.
this is huge.
Posted by: part-time pariah | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM
Yeah that Brandon Allen for Tony Pena deal - genius.
Posted by: vtadave | July 31, 2009 at 03:38 PM
Thank you KW!!
Posted by: jdub | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM
Guess all you A$$Holes owe Heyman and apology.
Especially you Spieg7.
Posted by: JDMetsfan9493 | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM

Posted by: JDMetsfan9493 | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM
This is messed up.. KT just lost me as a supporter. Axelrod would only say the reason why is when a team is so set on moving you why fight it.
Thanks Jake to being the face of a bad franchise. This almost hurts worse than Gonzelez being a Dodger. If the talent pans out that is one thing. Regardless Jake deserves better.
Posted by: hey the weather is nice | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM
Gotta give kudos to Heyman for breaking the story.
Posted by: O'Cey | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM
This has been an AMAZING trade deadline. Just awesome.
And I could see quite a few relievers moving via waivers.
"wow, thats ice cold on peavys behalf, approving a trade while injured when there was a better deal for the team when he was healthy"
This is actually a better deal for the Padres than what was offered earlier this season by the White Sox when Peavy was healthy.
Dexter Carter has way more upside than Lance Broadway.
Posted by: melonis rex | July 31, 2009 at 03:40 PM
Sorry the thought of Gonzo being a dodger
Posted by: hey the weather is nice | July 31, 2009 at 03:41 PM
Sorry the thought of Gonzo being a dodger
Posted by: hey the weather is nice | July 31, 2009 at 03:41 PM
Melonis,
You and I have way more upside then Lance Broadway
Posted by: ibleedcubbieblue | July 31, 2009 at 03:42 PM
LMAO, Peavy might not pitch again this season. One day in Chicago the radio morons are commending Jim Hendry of the Cubs for NOT going thru with this trade then pulling a 180 saying Kenny Williams is a genius for getting an injured, expensive Peavy? Which is it? Seems Kenny just wants to show up the Cub fans just like the Brian Roberts push and the late bigger offer for Fukudome at the last minute. Here in Chicago I guess we can only afford one set of scouts for both teams.
Posted by: goathedxxx | July 31, 2009 at 03:42 PM
"Gotta give kudos to Heyman for breaking the story."
Yeah, true.
And, Kenny Williams looks really stupid right now. His team has ZERO pitching depth. He just traded for an expensive, injured pitcher. This won't go well.
Anyone who was doubting Kevin Towers, that's an impressive coup out of a really bad Peavy situation.
Posted by: melonis rex | July 31, 2009 at 03:43 PM
I can't believe KW pulled this one off...I see Tigers got Washburn, I raise you one Jake Peavy
Posted by: Mikey Roederer | July 31, 2009 at 03:43 PM
Lance Broadway is with the Metropolitans now, they traded Ramon Castro to the White Sox for him.
Posted by: JDMetsfan9493 | July 31, 2009 at 03:43 PM
I am torn if this is true. I am a tigers fan but he is on my fantasy team as well. Oh the humanity.
