Last week there were numerous published reports that the Brian Cashman and Padres GM Kevin Towers had been having trade talks regarding the Padres ace pitcher, Jake Peavy, since the end of the GM meetings. Today, Towers downplayed those rumors saying that a Peavy deal was not imminent. He said that he has not talked to Cashman in anything that resmebles "trade talk." Towers went on to say that "there wasn't any deal close right now" and that he would like to trade Peavy "sooner rather than later."
Towers said that right now the Cubs are his primary interest. However, they don't seem like the likely destination for the 2007 NL Cy Young Award Winner because they already have a rotation stacked with Carlos Zambrano, Rich Harden, and probably Ryan Dempster. Not to mention Ted Lilly who is more than capable. Right now, it looks like Jake Peavy will be having a very nice offseason, in San Diego.
