This time, it's for realsies.
Jake Peavy, the Padres ace, sidelined since June 9 with a bum ankle, was dealt to the Chicago White Sox today for a wheel barrel of youngsters: Clayton Richard, Aaron Poreda, Dexter Carter and Adam Russell.
Back in May, Peavy was traded to the South Siders, only to turn it down, which he has the authority with a full no-trade clause.
This time, he consented.
“He never said no, he just said ‘not yet,”’ White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said.
Richard, who you may have seen a time or two at the Knights Castle, is the most major-league ready of the bunch, throwing back-to-back gems and has a 4.65 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. He was also scheduled to pitch tonight for the Pale Hose.
Peavy (6-6, 3.97) was having a down year, although apparently pitching through ankle issues his final four starts or so.
He's expected to be back on the field in late August.
