It shouldn't be a huge deal for the Sox to pick up the option. With the buyout, it's only an effective $18M.

Peavy will be 32 in 2013.

I wonder what 14 teams those are ... seems like his reluctance to move to the AL could be more truth than rumor...

22, but it's only a net gain of 18 since the Sox would have to pay a $4M buyout to void the option.

With Hawk already spewing the "company line" on no-trade clauses, I wouldn't be surprised if today's broadcast is a 3-hour softening of the blow that this won't happen.

And no, before everyone starts asking "how do you know what the company line is? Did you talk to someone? Etc, etc." No, it's just my opinion.

It's also my opinion that Peavy doesn't really want to play for the White Sox, that Peavy doesn't really want to come to the AL, and that if this were the Cubs, the deal would have been done already based on all the offseason chatter. Oh, and that it's very possible SD knew he wouldn't accept this and now can use the deal to their advantage somehow.

It may be a paradox, but I've always thought that people who call others complete douches are complete...

[DaveIsHere]

I hate these rumors. He needs to say yes or no so we can all move on in our day.

No need to get smart. I am obviously just frustrated.

I'll give Peavy the benefit of the doubt and say that he is mulling over the decision and wants to talk with his family, etc. There are no mulligans when it comes to these decisions, so understandably, he'll need a little time.

Sounds like there's room for a middle ground. Give him 14 instead of 8 teams in the out years of the NTC, double the buyout for the option year. But good news is that if he's making the option year demands, then he's either convinced the Sox would never accept or he's willing to come. And if he's willing to come, there's room for negotiation.

This sounds pretty much like every other trade of a star with an NTC - Deal is done. Player says "No thanks, not unless you pick up the option (or as the case may be depending ont he market & player, decline the team option)". Then it's all about the $$$$.

Andy Masur, voice of the Padres talks about how he would be very surprised if Jake approved a deal to any AL team.

I agree with your opinion. All of it.

If that no trade clause would transfer to the Sox in its entirety, it doesn't seem like that great of a deal for the Sox. Seeing how Peavy is equivocating over coming to a solid team, in a great city, raises a big "red flag". What happens if the Sox decide that keeping him and his huge contract doesn't fit into their future plans? They would be placed in the same position in which Padres management now finds itself, stuck with a guy that they have a hard time trading.

[pythons007]

Well I really hope Peavy isn't watching this game to base his decision off of because good god. Why would a pitcher want to come to a team that has the 3rd worst defense in the AL?

[Brian26]

If Harrelson, the ultimate company mouthpiece and carnival barker, is truly whining about it on tv right now, the deal is dead. Everyone might as well get back to work now.

The good thing is that it is no longer a full NTC after 2010. So it gives us SOME flexibility. And he won't get 10/5 during this contract, so we don't have to worry about that either.

If we can get him without giving up Beckham or any vets, I don't see why we wouldn't.

It's not a lock. He hasn't been great this year, and he'd be moving to a much harder league/park. But this move would be a great one for KW/JR if they want a big upside, big splash.
