With this deal, they're saving ~ $8 million this year and $52 million over the three years after that. If they were desperate to unload the contract, they could certainly kick in at least a few million, the owner's divorce notwithstanding. Edited May 21, 200916 yr by bighurt574
May 21, 200916 yr well peavy is making me run inside on the treadmill so i can watch the tv, instead of running outside on this beautiful day!
May 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (onedude @ May 21, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) it's slowed down though yeah, that's probably it until his final decision comes out... seems like Sox send him a reworked option pickup and he's chewing on that
May 21, 200916 yr I also hope that KW has done his research about any player he trades for, and if that player will show up on the list of the 100 or so players that tested positive during 2005.

Wait, did Fathom just link a here-to-now clean player to steroids? What? Will wonders ever cease?

Not sure if it is technically the option being discussed, but I think they are definitely trying to sweeten the pot in terms of guaranteed money.
May 21, 200916 yr The hold up may be the NTC. Peavy doesnt want to go through this again, and he knows that this may be his only chance to rework the NTC so its for the full deal.
May 21, 200916 yr A friend just called and said San Diego is reporting he officially blocked the trade. No idea if it's legit.

May 21, 200916 yr Well, I'm dissapointed, I think it would have been great to have that type of ace, but sounds like the Sox went as far as they were comfortable with
May 21, 200916 yr So can we officially call him Jake p**** now? If not mods, I'll gladly not. Hopefully he no-hits the Cubs this weekend, and then he just sucks the rest of his career.
