I don't know what team it will be too, but you have got to think the Cubs are still the front runners. It may mean getting rid of Pie, Guzman, Marshall, and Cedeno though. They are going to want players that are ML ready right now and all 4 of those guys could step into their lineup right now.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'd be surprised if Moorad unloads a Cy Young calibre pitcher. I'd be even more surprised if he does it for a group of guys like those you list.
IMHO, if all it would take were Vitters along with those four, the deal would already be done.

IMHO, it's extremely unlikely that any fan(let alone a Sox fan) would have any idea what the inner workings of a deal between the Cubs and Padres would entail. Also, from every indication, it's been the Braves and Cubs that have pulled the plugs on these deals, not the Padres.

I did say it was my opinion - right?

Cherp...there are some that feel your opinion doesn't matter!
Honestly though, I don't think the whole thing with Moorad is going to have any bearing on Peavy. Their team is not build to compete now or even within the next 3-5 years. Keeping Peavy makes zero sense for them. One guy who pitches every 5th day is not going to bring revenue to that team. I believe Peavy is as good as gone...whether it is before the season starts or at the trade deadline is a different story...but mark my words....Peavy is NOT a Padre at the end of the season!
