"There's a package there that will satisfy us ... there's a deal in the way of names," said Towers, who carefully stated that no deal, even in principle, has been reached.

Towers said a deal "could happen quick" if Hendry and the Cubs agree to assuming not only Peavy's $11 million salary in 2009 but the remainder of the $63 million he's owed over the next four seasons.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I sure hope we get a prospect-discount for taking all of the contract.

Maybe one player, but I think the Padres are trading Peavy more due to the contract than the return in prospects. I'm sure Hendry knew that as well so I don't see it being a big problem. Say they took his 09 salary for example, would it still be worth trading your ace? I mean we're giving them a few guys with some potential but nothing to write home about in my opinion.
