Any time you can deal for a brokedick with a 4.28 ERA, you've gotta do it.

Red Sox Close To Acquiring Jake Peavy
By Tim Dierkes [July 30 at 9:29pm CST]
Jake Peavy was scheduled to start for the White Sox in Cleveland tonight at 6:05pm central time, but the Sox will instead make history by promoting the Majors' first Brazilian native pitcher, Andre Rienzo, according to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. Meanwhile, GM Rick Hahn will be entertaining offers for Peavy, according to Gonzales. Gonzales notes that even if Peavy is not traded, the Sox will "get a chance to evaluate Rienzo on the major league stage." Peavy is definitely not starting for the White Sox tonight, confirms Scott Miller of CBS Sports. The latest:

The two sides are exchanging medical records according to Olney, and a deal is close, reports Rosenthal.
The Red Sox are in serious talks for Peavy, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (on Twitter).
ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the Red Sox and White Sox are discussing Peavy, and the trade talks "have legs."
Earlier, Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio reported that the Red Sox are no longer pursuing Cliff Lee. It seems as if their focus has shifted to Peavy.

DONE DEAL

JBJ+ for Peavy makes more sense than for Lee.

Does this leave anyone other than Texas and Dodgers as potential Lee partners?

They can't possibly be dealing JBJ for Peavy. If they are, then Cliff Lee should bring somebody's entire system.

Hey....rube wanted Bogaerts and wouldnt move. Sometimes you have to not blink. I'm ok with this.

Apparently it is Jose Iglesias +. JBJ was apparently an elbow, but who knows.

I'm convinced Ruben will be sitting there with his dick in his hand by 4:01 tomorrow.

Red Sox were picked to finish last this year by some, right? Now look at 'em.

But he'll be holding firm!

Am I the only one baffled that anybody would give up much of anything for Peavy?

I have a vague recollection they were able to do a bit of selling at the deadline.

No. He doesn't even make them better. Move to make a move.

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 22:45:25

We have no need to trade Lee. If him holding his dick means not shipping out Lee for 60 cents on the dollar, then I sure hope that's what happens. We've done that once before, and it was fucking stupid.

I always thought the Cardinals were the best fit.

Tigers involved too

He's not chopped liver.

Agree with Squire and hoya.

There's zero reason to trade Lee unless you get huge return. Peavy is a second rate pitcher and I'm sure Boston gave up second rate players/prospects. He won't win them anything.
