Jon Heyman of SI.com believes the Padres have, again, traded RHP Jake Peavy to the White Sox.

According to Buster Olney on ESPN News, the Sox approached Peavy about the deal less than one hour before the 4 pm deadline.

Peavy approved the deal, reports MLB.com.

Peavy has been on the disabled list since June 9 with a strained tendon in his right ankle, he is not expected back before late August.

Update, 4:41 pm:

The MLB Network reports the Padres will get prospects Clayton Richard, Adam Russell, Aaron Poreda and Dexter Carter.

Earlier this season, Peavy’s agent told SI.com his client would only accept a deal to a team in ‘Middle America.’
