Giants Acquire Jake Peavy

By charliewilmoth | July 26, 2014 at 11:02am CDT

USATSI_7974100_154513410_lowresThe Giants have acquired Jake Peavy from the Red Sox, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweets. The Red Sox will receive pitching prospects Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree, ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets. The Giants will pay $2MM of what’s left on Peavy’s contract, ESPN’s Jim Bowden tweets.

The trade reunites Peavy with Bruce Bochy, who managed him with the Padres. The deal also provides the Giants with valuable starting pitching depth, which they needed, given Matt Cain’s injury. The Red Sox, meanwhile, add prospect depth while clearing space for younger starting pitchers like Brandon Workman and Allen Webster.

Peavy is making $14.5MM in his final season before free agency. (His contract indicates that he can receive a player option for 2015, but he will not be able to pitch enough innings to attain it.) In 124 innings this season, has a 4.72 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9.

Escobar and Hembree appear to constitute a strong return for Boston. The lefty Escobar, 22, has pitched the entire season with Triple-A Fresno, posting a 5.11 ERA with 7.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. He had a very strong 2013 season at Class A+ and Double-A. MLB.com ranked him the Giants’ No. 2 prospect and the No. 75 prospect in all of baseball, noting that he could become a middle-of-the-rotation starter.

Hembree, 25, has spent most of the 2014 season with Fresno, where he’s posted a 3.89 ERA with 10.5 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 39 1/3 innings of relief. He appeared in nine games in the big leagues in 2013. MLB.com ranked him the 11th-best prospect in the Giants’ system, noting that he has long been regarded as a potential closer. Both Escobar and Hembree were on the Giants’ 40-man roster, although the Red Sox had a 40-man spot open before the trade, so they didn’t need to make any further moves to add both.

Heyman tweeted that the Red Sox would acquire minor league pitchers in return, with WEEI.com’s Alex Speier tweeting that the Red Sox would get one righty and one lefty. Jen Royle of the Boston Herald tweeted this morning that Boston was close to trading Peavy to an NL team, and FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal tweeted that the Red Sox and Giants were in serious discussions. CSNBayArea.com’s Andrew Baggarly reported that the Giants would receive cash in the deal.

        Drew is a relatively known quantity, though, and it’s perfectly reasonable to think he’ll get better. I may be so bold as to suggest “more than nothing” is a reasonable return for Drew.

          The Red Sox would have to eat a significant amount of that contract if they want anything in return. Drew simply isn’t worth the money he’s getting paid, let alone the money plus a prospect

        • MmmRocks

          8 years ago

          He’s only due something like $4 million for the rest of the year. If by “significant” you mean $1-2 million, I don’t see why the Red Sox would have a problem with that.

        Lester is a 2 month rental that cannot be offered a QO if traded. The return should probably top the compensation pick if the red sox trade him, but he´s not going to be worth a king ransom,

          Dodger fan here. Ben is very right. No way Dodgers give up Joc for Lester, who’s just going back to the Sox next season anyways.

        • Lamar Smith

          8 years ago

          I disagree, For a Pitcher like Lester and his track record in the post season. He would be worth parting with Joc. And if the Dodgers what a front line starter the price will be Pedersonor Corey Seager. And if they wnat Price it might take both or one of them and someone like Zach Lee.

        • thegrayrace

          8 years ago

          Highly, highly doubt the Dodgers will move Seager. Their infield depth, especially with Hanley being unreliable and an impending free agent, is far too weak to sacrifice Seager. Pederson and Zach Lee will be very much available in the right deal, though. Maybe even Urias.

          Pederson for Lester and a reliever would be OK with me as a Dodger fan. As much as I’d like to be rid of Ethier or Crawford and have Pederson take their place, it just isn’t realistic.

        • Lamar Smith

          8 years ago

          Agreed, I have been a Giants and Red Sox fan since I was a little kid. While I hate the Dodgers with a passion it would be best for Pederson ( who I think is a stud) and the organization to be able to trade Either or Crawford before trading Pederson.

        • Jesus Gutierrez

          True that, but assuming the Dodger made it to the world series. He would be the #3 starter whom performed like a #1 starter. Just look at his stats in the post season.

      It’s likely not Crick or Escobar or any of their top pitchers. Maybe somebody like ty blach or something? I’m not too well informed on the Giants farm system though. Just based on Peavy’s value.

          Did hear Stratton isn’t in Peavy deal, maybe its Ty Blach, but Boston is also sending 1mil in cash with Peavy deal, if its not Crick, its a huge pickup with Cain on the DL. Maybe Hembree even?

        • MaineSox

          8 years ago

          If the Sox get Crick it’s a major major win for them. Crick is a top 50 (possibly top 25 depending on where you look) prospect; you’re not getting that kind of value for a couple months of a back end starter.

        • Glenn O'Brien

          8 years ago

          Sox didn’t get Crick, maybe Escobar / someone else. Sox get Edwin Escobar & Heath Hembree, while I’m surprised a little but love the deal.

        • liberalconservative

          8 years ago

          Escobar has great stuff. He is a the #3 prospect for the giants. This is going to be a trade that comes back and haunt the giants. Escobar just needs the right coach and could be a solid starting pitcher.

        • Glenn O'Brien

          8 years ago

          I’ll disagree there, they had really no plans for him up with the team. I’m happy we got Peavy as he’s a good pickup, Hembree was pitching good though. Also Escobar is #2 prospect wise for the Giants.

        • liberalconservative

          8 years ago

          Peavy is a inning eater pitcher now. The Peavy of 5 years ago was good. He is a back of rotation guy. This is a trade that will come back on the giants even though I see Escobar more as a future closer with the stuff he has.

        • Karkat

          8 years ago

          I’ll take that. Our closer is like 80

          That’s fine about Escobar, thing is though the Giants lost Matt Cain for who knows how long, Petit isn’t even good honestly rather have him go to the Pen, Peavy can be the 5th starter. The Giants rotation is even better now, with Bumgarner, Lincecum, Hudson, Vogelsong, Peavy

        • Daniel Stern

          “This is a trade that will come back on the giants”. Giants didn’t give up much. The Giants have arguably the best run organization when it comes to scouting, developing & maintaining pitching. In almost two decades as GM, not very often has he traded away a high-ceiling pitching prospect that came back to bite him. While your opinion is interesting, it does not seem rooted in anything.

        • Richard Ponce

          8 years ago

          Joe Nathan, Francisco Liriano, and to an extent Zack Wheeler…. Not sure what their ceiling was when he traded them but they did do well after they were traded.

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          Exactly. In 16 yrs, those are the only 3 names: Nathan wasn’t a prospect was already performing well at the majors; Liriano was a bad giveaway; Wheeler hasn’t hurt much yet… He also traded away Jason Grilli & Bobby Howry & Saloman Torres but took years for them to be bullpen contributors.

        • Richard Ponce

          8 years ago

          yeah that sounds about right. Hindsight is always 20/20… suppose we won’t know until everything settles and those players are given a chance.

        • liberalconservative

          8 years ago

          Keep telling yourself that. Hudson has not been very good lately. Lincecum is only good against the padres. Vogelsong is up and down. the good thing for the giants is they are in the weakest division in baseball so they could slide into the playoffs. That is Sabean’s hope to catch fire when the playoff comes. Peavy was a over pay for a 5th starter.

        • MmmRocks

          8 years ago

          How often in the last 16 years has Sabean traded one of his top 2 pitching prospects?

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          1- Beede > Escobar once he signed.
          2- **off the top of my head, feel free to add/edit. Years might be wrong** Zach Wheeler for Beltran 2011; Tim Alderson for Freddy Sanchez in 2010; Jason Grilli & Joe Fontenant were both highest rated pitchers for Robb Nen in 1997; Kurt Ainsworth for Sidney Ponson; Jesse Foppert for Randy Winn; Scott Linebrink for Doug Henry; Jerome Williams & David Aardsma were both highest rated for LaTroy Hawkins … not sure if Keith Foulke was a Top 2 pitching prospect in the 1997 trade with the White Sox. I don’t think Vogelsong was Top 2 in the 2001 trade for Jason Schmidt but that’s debatable.

          The Giants gave him a shot three years? No they did not.

          2010 – drafted
          2011 – A+/AA, great season
          2012 – AAA, shoulder injury
          2013 – AAA, elbow injury, then a September call-up where he did well
          2014 – AAA in part because of a roster crunch and the fact that he has options remaining

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          Failed is a strong word – he has been given A LOT of opportunities over the years. This year, he couldn’t beat out David Huff, Juan Gutierrez, Jean Machi, or George Kontos plus was passed on the depth chart by Derek Law.

        • ramjamrock

          8 years ago

          He was not given a lot of opportunities. He was drafted, had a solid first year, then injured (shoulder one year, elbow the next), and then got 7.2 IP last September. That’s not “A LOT of opportunities over the years”.

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          A 25 yr old pitcher invited to many spring trainings on a bullpen that always brings in new pitchers is many opportunities. You view opportunity as having only 7.2 innings – I view opportunity as spring training, mid-season call ups & opening day rosters of which he never really outshone anyone to win spots or calls to the show.

      Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree are pretty good pick ups. With Hembree, they can now trade Koji Uehara and/or Junichi Tazawa for some prospects. Edwin is young and has plenty of time to develop. Nice move.

        Be careful about anointing Hembree the closer. He is only 25 but was supposed to the closer-in-waiting after Brian Wilson a few yrs back. This year, he was passed on the depth chart by George Kontos, Juan Gutierrez, Jean Machi, Derek Law. Has the stuff but inconsistent. Should be a contributor but not sure about closer.

          For sure. Hope Hembree gets a consistent chance now. 7th inning guys sounds perfect actually, ease him into it.

        • ramjamrock

          8 years ago

          I disagree that he was “passed” on the depth chart. He had options, Gutierrez and Machi did not. Kontos had a track record with Bochy (huge factor with this team). Law was not going to play in the Majors this season.

          His secondary stuff needs work, but I think he’s a perfectly decent reliever who would have had an actual opportunity had the SF bullpen not been lights-out for most of the season. Not the closer we were promised a couple years ago, but still decent.

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          He was passed plain & simple. How do you explain David Huff? Machi & Gutierrez were minor league free agents (Machi last year), not groomed players the Giants had been stashing al a Gary Brown. Sandy Rosario got further last year. Derek Law was closing @ AAA before TJ surgery. While Hembree should be a decent reliever, he couldn’t break through a multitude of minor league free agents. Facts are facts.

          He is 25 yrs old. At this point, you hope he can turn into a Doug Henry or Clay Hensley type. That’s still a decent contributor but when it comes to “asset value” in a trade, it’s not much. I really hope he makes it for the Red Sox in that capacity, like you said “not the closer we were promised a couple years ago”. There’s nothing wrong with a Doug Henry or Clay Hensley, they helped teams win.

        • ramjamrock

          8 years ago

          I explain Huff and Rosario the same way I explained the others. No options remaining. Machi came up originally in 2012, he was in the system since 2011. The fact that they were brought into the system doesn’t mean much with regard to Hembree. They were brought in for depth, and Sabean didn’t want to lose them, so he didn’t DFA them (until later, in Huff’s case).

          And Derek Law was in AA, not AAA.

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          Those guys were minor league free agents – not a matter of Sabean not wanting to lose them since he had no sunk cost into them. Sabean got rid of Huff really quick in fact (Gary Brown being moved to the 40-man so as not exposed to Rule 5 Draft is a matter of not wanting to lose a player). Sabean puts the best players on the field 95% of the time – clearly Hembree couldn’t beat out those guys. When you can’t beat someone out and new players keep emerging, that means you are passed.. Larry Kruger was saying this too when the trade happened

          Jackson is owed $22 million in ’15 and ’16. Peavy won’t be able to pick up his option and will cost the Giants a couple million… Jackson would be a much, much worse pick-up… and certainly not a cheaper one.

        • GetToTheChoppa

          8 years ago

          The giants just gave up some good/decent pitching prospects. If the cubs hope to trade Edwin Jackson for a decent prospect they’ll have to eat 16-18 mill of that contract. That means whatever team trades for him can give up a struggling player with high upside and the team that gets Jackson is paying him 2-3 mill a year.

          Cubs won’t eat that much of his contract, especially if they aren’t in contention. Maybe a couple million… not 16-18.

          Thing is you don’t understand, Escobar never had a future with the team, he had 2 years and didn’t work out. If he had worked out, do you think they would have traded him?

        • Sal Covarrubias

          8 years ago

          Escobar is *really* young and in the Sox’ system he is probably in AA, not AAA. Maybe the Giants rushed him to AAA and maybe that’s why he’s getting hit hard. Maybe Escobar has a bright future but he’s got about 3-4 years of learning with a great minor league system before he even gets a shot at the rotation.

        • Richard Ponce

          8 years ago

          From what I know AA tends to be where the Giants put their frontline prospect pitchers for development. He did ok their, but out here in the PCL AAA, offensive stats are usually inflated due to the pitching talent that is in the league. A lot of these pitchers including Escobar are often considered 4A guys.

        • MaineSox

          8 years ago

          It doesn’t matter if he has a future with the team, it’s still too much value to give up for Peavy. That’s like saying “It’s okay that I paid $20 for that McDonald’s burger because I didn’t really like that $20 bill anyway.” That’s still way too much to pay for a McDonald’s burger.

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          Who cares how much you paid if you are hungry and desperate to eat? The Giants are in win-now mode (and didn’t exactly give away $20M burger to get Peavy).

        • Glenn O'Brien

          8 years ago

          Look at it this way, Escobar was getting hammered, not saying Peavy was or wasn’t, the fact was the Giants needed an SP and got one, no one knows how long Cain is out for, might gone for entire year.

        • Daniel Stern

          8 years ago

          “Value” is a subjective term. Long-term, he is projected as a back-of-the-rotation arm IF he makes it. The Giants have an excellent history of developing that, so the “value” they see in Escobar is not the higher value the Red Sox see.

        • Sal Covarrubias

          8 years ago

          Giants fans and Dodgers fans seem to think that they are the only teams with good pitching development in their systems. The Braves might say the same, the Red Sox, the Angels….John Farrell alone has been credited with shaping the careers of a lot of their pitchers. I see Escobar as a AA guy in the Sox’ system and a pretty long line ahead of him to the majors. But ultimately, I think that the Sox have so much minor league depth right now that it would not surprise me to see either or both of these guys, plus some of the guys in Pawtucket get spun off in another deal down the line. I’d like to see these fellows wearing Marlins uniforms next year and G. Stanton patrolling the OF at Fenway.

        • MmmRocks

          Good point. Between Owens, Escobar, Webster, Workman, Ranaudo and Barnes, the Red Sox will have trouble storing all of their legitimate pitching prospects in a league that challenges them. And that’s assuming that De La Rosa stays in the majors.

          Right, Fangraphs projected Escobar as a future number 2/3 starter prior to this season and potential is clearly there. He has been pretty awful this year however, giving up a ton of home runs and it hasn’t been all bad luck either. Think he’s a guy that could go either way, but based on potential, great pickup for Peavy, and Hembree.isn’t bad either.

        • Victoria Roberts

          8 years ago

          The issue is he needs to paint to be successful because he’s averaging about 90 mph on his fastball. He doesn’t paint and he gets hit hard, and it happens fast. Again I wish him success but I’ve been watching him all year. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery.

          That isn’t necessarily true. He’s turning 40 next year, I doubt he’ll see a huge contract. And you also have the opportunity to negotiate with him before he reaches free agency if he stays on your team. I was paraphrasing, and he said something more like he doesn’t have anywhere he wants to play. It’s best not to give up your exclusive window was all I meant.

          He didn’t seem to do very well as the #3-#4 starter for a team on a World Series run. I don’t think it was the lack of a competitive situation that caused him to pitch poorly.

        • DippityDoo

          8 years ago

          Mainly from what I saw when he pitched for the White Sox, but once his Sox went Red last year his numbers improved across the board sans a few more BBs/9 and a slight decrease in Ks/9 and that was going from AL central to AL east. I’m not saying he’s going to put up ace numbers, but I think its a good gamble for the Giants and Peavy has always been a very competitive guy.

    Im not a Sox fan, but I am a fan of good baseball trades, and Big Ben the Cher Bear pulled off a pretty remarkable move. If it is true that San Fran is taking on all of Peavys salary and still giving up Escobar and Hembree, then regardless of how Peavy performs from now till years end, this is a BIG win for Boston. Sounds to me like Bruce got a little sentimental towards one of his former players and overly encouraged Sabs to make the move. The Cardinals have to be thinking, “Wow, we wouldnt have given NEARLY that much up to acquire Jake!” Im also guessing that the Padres and Rays are eager to see how much people would be willing to overpay them for Kennedy and Price respectively. Not knocking Jake Peavys career accomplishments, but this year he is not worth that type of money OR that large of a return in a trade. As a Bucco fan thats interested in Kennedy and or Masterson, this deal makes me nervous because of how much we might need to part with. Hopefully Huntington stands tall and wont mortgage the future if the ask is this crazy.

Although Ian is not a #1 or #2 starter, his trade value in THIS current market could bring a return as though he was. As a Pirates fan, these huge overpays for starting pitching has me very nervous. I dont want Huntington to drastically overpay with our front end prospects. Very interesting market right now.

        The Sox may’ve messed things up for the Yankees, then. Word is that they’ve been scouting Kennedy and even if it was doubtful that they would trade to get him back, at this point I don’t think they have the minor league talent to trade for Kennedy or anybody else of value. Makes me wonder if the Sox are stockpiling all of these pitchers and infielders in the high minors in order to make more trades for guys like Kennedy. They certainly have the depth. The difference between the Sox ‘rebuilding’ and most other teams rebuilding is that they have to turn it around fairly quickly and there’s no way that all of these talented minor leaguers are going to have a spot on the Sox’ 25-man roster this year.

          “but Billy is a smart man, I’d trust him.” You don’t trust Cherington yet? I know he’s new but has done a great job so far.

          Never said anything about Ben, not sure why you made that assumption. I’d agree with you though, I think he’s done a great job so far as well.

          Wasn’t sure who you were referencing Billy against. Things get confused on the internet for sho.

    For that haul I’m glad the Cards didn’t get him.

    Not bad. I get to see some of the young arms take Peavy’s spot and we got something for Peavy.

    Can you imagine this rotation in 2007?
    I’m guessing Brian Sabean did.
    I dont know about this trade. Watching SF get routed by the Dodgers last night didn’t leave me with the feeling that a SP who’s best days are behind him is the team’s biggest need.

      But he was a “Dodger killer” seven years ago!

        Yeah, I’d like to invite Sabean to my garage sale.
        Not only would he take my junk, but I’d somehow end up in a bigger house.

    I’m guessing that Sabean is under the impression that the Giants will need to beat the Dodgers in a win or go home game at some point.

      Not only that, they don’t / didn’t have the prospects for Price before Peavy, Rays won’t deal Price unless they fall out of contention with wild card guessing. I don’t think Sabean is done dealing he’ll go look at 2B now I’m sure.

    Could Victorino be moved as well?

      Not sure what his market is with recent injury and fairly big contract. Also sox are thin in Outfield this year and next. Possible but I think not likely.

      I don’t see why he would be. He’s still under contract for next year and could play a role in 2015. The Red Sox will have a bunch of money coming off the books after this year and will likely try to retool and be competitive next year.

    When you see this trade and think about the fact that the Yankees got a cheaper, better and younger pitcher in Brandon McCarthy for friggin’ Vidal Nuno, who isn’t even a prospect, then you really come to realize how incompetent the D-backs’ front office is…

    Really good return for Boston considering Peavy’s numbers. Boston’s system sure is loaded with pitching depth now

    The Giants puzzle me with their trades. They give up pitching prospects for short term rentals, then suffer because they have no pitching so they trade more pitching for more short term rentals. It’s like they are trying to make their organization worse.

    Even if both guys the Sox received end up in the pen I say it could be a win. Cost controlled arms are worth their weight anymore.

    Next trade will be between LA and Cleveland. Cleveland wants a RH OF and a SP both of which they have in excess. Maybe Santana, Kipnis to LA for Ryu+Kemp. Would upgrade the Dodgers at two positions of need: 2b and C (sliding Gordon to SS and Hanley to 3b where his glove won’t hurt as much).

    Wow Sabean I know we are desperate for SP but why make this deal? Peavy is mediocre this year. Boston won this trade by a big margin. (If Peavy brings us a championship this year then I guess it’s a win-win.) Also, Im wondering why Jake Peavy instead of someone like Jon Niese or a proven starter like David Price. Well anyways we got our pitching depth now, now we got to focus on getting 2nd base and bench help.

    Seems like we gave up a little too much for Jake Peavy. I can only hope he can turn it around now that he is re-united with Bruce Bochy, re-united with the National League, and re-united with the NL West and warmer weather.

    sabean is overrated. i cant think of an acquistion besides scutaro that worked out. this trade is horrible. sacrificing our future by depleting our already thin farm system for an aging no-talent like Peavy. he’s not even better than Petit. we dont even have him locked up for next year. Sabean shouldnt get the lion share of credit for the recent success. that credit belongs to the scouts who drafted our stars. just horrible.
