<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Cubs tried to interest the Phillies in Marquis, but received only lukewarm interest. Cubs infielder/outfielder Mark DeRosa, who attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, would fit the Phillies' need for a right-handed hitting replacement for departing free agent Pat Burrell.
DeRosa has been among the names under discussion, but according to one source, the Cubs' attempts to involve a third team in the Peavy discussions have involved "probably 20 names with four to five clubs." And an agreement is still not close.
No Peavy deal will be completed until the Cubs' new owner is decided, sources say. The new owner would need to approve the addition of Peavy, who is owed $63 million.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well, they can still agree to the trade, but if that's true, Peavy but not officially be a Cub until March. Whatev.
