The San Diego Padres have agreed to a trade staff ace Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox and are waiting for Peavy to decide if he will waive his no-trade clause, sources tell ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.
Peavy has a full no-trade clause and can veto the deal.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday that the two teams were near a deal and that according to team personnel, Peavy met with Padres manager Bud Black late Wednesday night to discuss the possibility. Peavy declined comment after meeting with Black, the newspaper reported.
The Padres were said to be close to dealing Peavy to the Chicago Cubs during the offseason, but that trade did not materialize.
Peavy, who won the 2007 NL Cy Young Award, has a 89-67 career record with a 3.27 ERA. In 2007 he earned the pitching Triple Crown by leading the National League with 19 wins, 240 strikeouts and a 2.54 ERA.
Peavy is due to earn $11 million this season. Padres GM Kevin Towers has said the Padres are about $5 million above the $40 million player payroll that the team's majority owner, John Moores, has set for this season, according to the Union-Tribune.
Peavy is currently 3-5 with a 3.82 ERA for the Padres, who are 18-22 and third
