Love the Peavy! He handled his rough times with total class and I really hope he finds a landing spot and plays well.

Would love to see the Pirates sign Peavy. They could really use a veteran arm, and perhaps a mentor to guys like Cole, Taillon, and Glasnow.. Bring sort of that AJ Burnett element to the staff.

Peavy is old and wasn’t very good last year. Also, I’d shy away from guys in the process of divorce. Sports history is littered with players whose worst years are quietly explained by divorce. They tend to lose focus.
I like the idea of just running out these young guys, since there are plenty of them and the only way to find out if they can pitch in the big leagues is to let them pitch in the big leagues.
But, if the Pirates see cause for concern in Bradenton with them, they could call the Dodgers about McCarthy or (preferably) Kazmir. The Dodgers are going to have to unload some starters before April.
Kazmir could come in as a veteran, a lefty and a guy with a very high ceiling.

AJ Burnett was not very good before he came to the Pirates either. The Pirates are going to need someone to eat some innings, or they are going to run these young arms into the ground. Look at the Mets great young staff, they all broke down towards the end of the year. Cole and Nova are the only ones who should be expected to pitch 200 innings, and both of them have had a hard time staying off the DL.

Don’t sign someone because of a divorce? Well there it is, the stupidest thing I read today.

Peavy was also swindled out of millions of dollars. He routinely had to leave the team in between starts to give depositions and speak with the Feds. That plus his divorce and injuries was a lot to deal with.

Oh man, I had no idea. Take as much time as you need, Jake. Really hoping for the best for his family.

You have got to give Peavy huge props for choosing his children over baseball. I hope he catches on with a team when he is ready and has a great year.

Marriages don’t always work out dude. Times are changing, lots of couples get divorced.

Thought he was closer to 40? Looks like closer to 50. Over the hill. Bosox would be wise to take a risk on Anibel Sanchez. One year left on his contract and, looking good this spring.
