This leaves the Cubs in the driver's seat. He'll either be a Cub (which we be freaking great) or stay with the Pads. With the Cubs talking to the Orioles about getting involved in the deal, who knows, perhaps we do get Roberts and Peavy, but what are we going to give up in order to

A ) Give enough value to make it happen
B ) Free up salary

I wonder if a higher salaried Cubs player may get involved in this deal.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Hampton went to the Astros. Nevertheless, I agree with you that the Braves don't seem as interested in Peavy as they once were. Also, the minor league catcher they traded to the Sox was a key part of the deal they offered to SD.

I'm beginning to think we might get Peavy for less than he's worth since he has a big contract and teams aren't spending money. SD may be best served by hodling on to Peavy and trading him at the deadline. I don't think they want to pay him for a half season though.
