Axelrod knows Peavy's contract no longer looks like a bargain, so he's surprised the White Sox made the deal.

"Frankly I am flabbergasted that the White Sox would want to make this deal with him in his physical condition," Axelrod said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Agents always say stuff like this, right?

EDIT:
