10/05: Davidoff: Jake Peavy Will Be Shopped
Posted by: Patrick
From Ken Davidoff:
Whom would you rather have? CC Sabathia for six years and $150 million? Or Jake Peavy for four years and $63 million?
The Padres, coming off a 63-99 season, will at least explore a Peavy trade, general manager Kevin Towers confirmed to Newsday. ESPN's Buster Olney first reported that possibility this past week.
The Yankees are among the teams with prospects that interest the Padres, although it's not clear whether Peavy would waive his no-trade clause to come to the Bronx.

That's doubtful of course, but even if we had to give Peavy an extra two years even at $20 million or so per year, it's still a relative bargain compared to what Sabathia would cost.
The Yankees have enough money to land either guy, so I guess in the end it would have to ultimately come down to what the Padres would actually want from the Yankees in return.
