Peavy deal almost complete? 4 TEAMS???

You forgot Dempster and Lilly. That would be like the '71 Orioles.

Dumpster ought to revert to his career norms (IE Not very good) here soon. He's got his payday. Marquis part duex not sure but he wont see the type of season he had again as a starter. Here's hoping no one wants Marquis .

Lilly has had two solid years for the Cubs and him as the 5th starter is the perfect spot for him. Cubs have to have a lefty somewhere. Lilly versus other 5th starters is a good thing.

LAS VEGAS -- San Diego general manager Kevin Towers just told reporters that a proposed deal to send pitcher Jake Peavy to the Chicago Cubs was dead.

"It doesn't look like anything is going to happen with the Cubs," Towers said.

Towers indicated that Cubs GM Jim Hendry pulled out of the deal.

"He said he's got other things going on. I respect his position," Towers said.

Towers will meet with team CEO Sandy Alderson on Monday and speak with Peavy's agent, Barry Axelrod, in the coming days to see where they go next.

Towers said one option is pulling Peavy off the trading block and going into the 2009 season with him at the front of the starting rotation.

so much for that
