Jake Peavy being shopped?  I've always been a fan of Jake Peavy.
Wouldn't mind seeing him behind Johan Santana.  According to the
Union-Tribue out of San Deigo, Padres GM Kevin Towers is already
in talks with some teams.  From U-T: Towers said he has heard
from clubs interested in trading for ace pitcher Jake Peavy.
“We're having talks,” he said.  The GM said he wouldn't be
surprised if the Peavy talks heat up next month.  Obviously, the
Mets don't have much to trade out of the minor league system.
Maybe a package of Luis Castillo, Aaron Heilman and Nick Evans
can swing it (obviously joking).  Still, he won't cost as much
as CC Sabathia, but the Mets already have an ace on their staff.
I just can't see them adding another front-line starter while
the bullpen is still a mess. But hey, you never know.
