The Cubs informed the Padres they're moving on without the 2007 NL Cy Young winner.
Jim Hendry is expected to speak to the media at approximately 1 p.m.
The San Diego Union Tribune first reported that talks are over today, the last full day of baseball's Winter Meetings.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Is this 1pm pacific or has Hendry already announced his donut?

Hendry already announced talks were over. There's an article on ESPN.
My guess is that this could crop up again, if Towers realizes that Peavy is making 1/4 of the Padres payroll, and pretty much only wants to come to the cubs. If he lowers his asking price, and the Cubs can clear some salary, it might happen.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
