Starting Pitcher: Phillies, 3rd Team in Peavy Talks
According to Ken Rosenthal, of FoxSports.com, the Phillies are working with the Cubs and Padres, in an effort to get Jake Peavy to Chicago.
“The Padres like some of the Phillies young minor-league pitchers,” Rosenthal explains, citing major-league sources, “but the talks are only in the preliminary stages.”
Rosenthal believes the Cubs tried to push Jason Marquis to Philadelphia, ‘but received only lukewarm interest.’
