Padres want: pitching prospects.
Peavy to Cubs didn't happen because: lack of pitching prospects from the Cubs.
DeRosa traded for: 3 pitching prospects.
Pie traded for: 2 pitching prospects (one of them wanted by the Padres before).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That's pretty much exactly what I think.
