Jake Peavy to the Braves?

Also from Jerry Crasnick on ESPN radio, also no link yet: the Padres are close to sending Jake Peavy to Atlanta for Marcus Giles, Horacio Ramirez and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. This would make some sense: Schuerholz has never been afraid to deal top-drawer prospects (of which Saltalamacchia used to unquestionably be, if he isn't after a weak 2006 at the plate) for impact players. And this does a lot of things for the Padres: fill their 2B hole, replace Peavy (kind of), and put another potentially solid catcher in the system now that George Kottaras is property of Boston. It also allows the Padres to keep Scott Linebrink or use him in a trade with the Red Sox.

 

From everyone's favorite mlbtraderumors...but not a bad source because of Crasnick. I won't believe it till I see it, but a GREAT trade by Schuerholz if it happens. He has McCann to catch, Ramirez is nowhere in the same galaxy as Peavy, and Giles isn't a great player, albeit a good one.

Don't. It was reported on MLB Trade Rumors as reported by Crasnick, but it was taken down.
